What are Lines?

A line is merely a dot that moves.

A line is two-dimensional and can vary in width, direction, and length but is usually long relative to its width.

What are Lines?Lines can be horizontal, vertical, or diagonal,straight or curved, thick or thin.A line can define the edge of a form, create space, create an outline or pattern, imply movement or texture and allude to mass or volume.

3 Basic Families of LinesAngled Linesoccur when two straight lines meet or join together, and are used to draw various straight-sided shapes, such as squares, rectangles, and triangles.

The sizes of the angles ultimately determine the shapes of the objects you are drawing.

3 Basic Families of LinesCurved Linesare formed when a straight line curves or bends as in the letters C and U.

A compound curve is created when a curved line changes direction as in the letter S.

Line SamplerGet your drawing materials and let’s createa line sampler.

With a 2-B pencil

PRINT

* your first and last name

* today’s date

* art period: 1,2,3 or 4

* your grade level: 9th, 10th, 11th, 12th

Line SamplerThis is an exercise that will help you understand the expressive nature of the simple LINE.

Page 27: What are Lines? A line is a basic element of art, referring to a continuous mark, made on a surface, by a moving point. A line is merely a dot that moves

Line SamplerIn each box of the sampler, there is a word describing the type of line

you need to create.

Each box is worth 2 points.

In the 2 boxes at the end you may fill in with ideas of your own.

You can combine lines in these 2 boxes.

Use a 2-B pencil or thin tip marker to complete each line.
