the ‘elements of art’?
• It defines an area• It creates an illusion of depth (volume)

LINEWhat is a line in Art?Line – an area whose length is greater than its width; an indication of direction. This can be found in drawing, painting, printmaking, sculpture, clay/pottery, and architecture.
Lines can be actual or implied; a line which shows an outside edge of an object is a contour line.
A directional line points or moves the eye in a particular direction. Horizontal – across: Feel - quiet, stable. Vertical - up and down: Feel - Reaching up, uplifting, rising. Diagonal - corner to corner: Feel - dynamic, moving.
Lines can express feeling – thick or thin, weighty or straight, hard-edged or soft.
