The document discusses different types of lines that can be seen in art and nature. It identifies curvilinear lines that flow organically as well as geometrical lines that are straight. Vertical and horizontal lines are also prominent types that create structure. The conclusion reflects on how noticing different line types enhances appreciation for how prevalent and important lines are in our environment.
Different types of lines
- 1. Different types of lines By: Rebecca Van Nelson
- 2. Curvilinear and geometrical lines I see a number of lines including vertical & horizontal but predominantly curvilinear and geometrical. This drawing is very abstract but also has a lot of depth. It’s beautiful.
- 3. Horizontal Lines in poetry
- 4. Railway line Railway lines are usually straight with a few curves.
- 5. Vertical - Movement These lines lead your eyes into an almost round movement. It almost looks as though the vertical lines are going around in a circle.
- 6. Vertical Lines One immediately notices the vertical lines in the poles but the flow of the horizontal lines (in the sunset and the water) are also visible.
- 8. Organic and straight lines In this drawing there are many straight lines and the curved lines makes certain areas stand out.
- 9. Vertical lines & organic lines This is my absolute favourite, it shows you how you can make a picture pop and become real just by adding lines to a drawing.
- 12. Lines in trees
- 14. Geometrical & Curvilinear Lines
- 15. Rectilinear, Vertical & Horizontal lines This is amazing, so symmetrical. The frames of the walls are all vertical and horizontal, perfectly straight.
- 16. Straight and zig zag lines.
- 21. Straight lines – vertical and horizontal
- 22. Horizontal Lines Birds sitting on (horizontal) electric lines
- 23. Curvilinear These lines go round spiraling and carrying your eyes with the flow of the staircase.
- 24. Spiral Lines on a sea shell
- 25. Jagged Lines
- 26. Perspective lines
- 27. Arabesque
- 28. Conclusion Working on this assignment made me realize that lines are everywhere we go, everywhere we look. It’s amazing when you can distinguish the different kinds of lines, it definitely makes you appreciate it more.
