TYPES OF LINE—the way it moves from beginning to end (straight, curves, angular)
LINE DIRECTION—relationship with the page (horizontal, vertical, diagonals)
LINE QUALITY—how the line is draw and the drawing media (delicate or bold, smooth or broken, thick or thin, regular or changing)
Uses of Line • To define shapes (contour drawing/cross-contour)
• To create texture (evoking our sense of touch)
• To create patterns (repetition)
• To create value (parallel lines “hatching” /intersecting lines “cross-hatching” create various density)
• To convey a mood (linear technique)
• To suggest motion (differences in line weight)
Working with lines • Stop/Start
• Change in directions
• Overlap or intersect
• Change in line weight (thick and thin)
• Closer together, farther apart
