Lines in Photography Implied: Implied lines are not actual lines; instead
they are implied in the picture. They are made by the way objects are placed within your photograph. Many times an actual object will create a line such as s tree, a railroad track or telephone wires.

Lines in Photography Vertical: Vertical lines run up and down. They
help stimulate feelings of dignity, height, and strength. You can find vertical lines in buildings, trees, fences, or even people standing up.

Lines in Photography Horizontal: Horizontal lines run side to side.
They usually represent calmness, tranquility and peacefulness. An example would be a dog lying in the grass, flowers in a field, or the horizon line of a beach scene.

Lines in Photography Diagonal: Diagonal lines run corner to corner.
This can give the idea of energy and motion. An example would be a person climbing a mountain, a tree bent by the wind, or a bridge running across the water.

Lines in Photography Curved and S Curve: A curved line would bend
in the picture while an S Curve would go beyond the picture. These give a feeling of fluidity, movement and direction. An example would be a winding lake or twisting road.

Lines in Photography Leading: A leading line draws your eye in to the
picture and out. It allows for movement in one or several directions. A successful leading line will bring your eye right to the main subject or center of interest in your photograph

Color in Art Color is the element of art that is produced when
light strikes an object and reflects back to the eye There are 3 properties to color
Hue: the name we give to a color (red, yellow, blue). Intensity: how strong and vivid the color is. For example, we may describe the color blue as "royal“ (bright, rich, vibrant) Value: how light or dark a color is. The terms shade and tint are in reference to value changes in colors.

subject and keep it there.
