This document defines and discusses different types of lines and how they are used in art. It begins by defining what a line is and describing characteristics like width, direction, and length. It then discusses different kinds of lines including horizontal, vertical, diagonal, straight, and curved lines. It explains how each line type can convey different meanings and effects, such as horizontal lines suggesting rest and vertical lines communicating height. Examples are given of specific artworks and how the lines are used within them. The document also covers techniques for creating value and texture using lines, such as hatching, crosshatching, stippling, and scribbling. It provides examples and instructions for an assignment involving these line techniques.

- 1. UNDERSTANDING LINE Definition Kinds of Line and their Effects on Art Works Styles and Techniques
- 2. LINE • A line is an identifiable path created by a point moving in space. • It is one-dimensional and can vary in width, direction, and length. • Lines often define the edges of a form. • Lines can be horizontal, vertical, or diagonal, straight or curved, thick or thin. • They lead your eye around the composition and can communicate information through their character and direction.
- 3. Kinds of Line and their Effect on Works of Art Horizontal lines suggest a feeling of rest or repose because objects parallel to the earth are at rest. In this landscape, horizontal lines also help give a sense of space. The lines delineate sections of the landscape, which recede into space. They also imply continuation of the landscape beyond the picture plane to the left and right. A Storm on the Mediterranean Coast, Claude-Joseph Vernet, 1767
- 4. Kinds of Line and their Effect on Works of Art Vertical lines often communicate a sense of height because they are perpendicular to the earth, extending upwards toward the sky. In this church interior, vertical lines suggest spirituality, rising beyond human reach toward the heavens. Saint Bavo, Haarlem, Pieter Jansz. Saenredam, 1634
- 5. Kinds of Line and their Effect on Works of Art Horizontal and Vertical lines used in combination communicate stability and solidity. Rectilinear forms with 90- degree angles are structurally stable. This stability suggests permanence and reliability. Cabinet, French, about 1785
- 6. Kinds of Line and their Effect on Works of Art Diagonal lines convey a feeling of movement. Objects in a diagonal position are unstable. Because they are neither vertical nor horizontal, they are either about to fall or are already in motion. The angles of the ship and the rocks on the shore convey a feeling of movement or speed in this stormy harbor scene. A Storm on the Mediterranean Coast, Claude-Joseph Vernet, 1767
- 7. Kinds of Line and their Effect on Works of Art Curve of a line can convey energy. Soft, shallow curves recall the curves of the human body and often have a pleasing, sensual quality and a softening effect on the composition. The edge of the pool in this photograph gently leads the eye to the sculptures on the horizon. Pool, Saint-Cloud, Eugène Atget, 1915–1919

Assignment: • Copy and Paste a painting, picture or drawing from the internet to a ¼ size short bond paper • Give its Title, Artist, Medium and Year Made • Explain how the art work made use of the its line to convey its message. Title Artist Medium Year Made Explanation how the lines are used to explain the work
- 9. LINES THAT CREATE VALUE AND TEXTURE
- 10. Hatching and Crosshatching Technique in using lines to create value (dark to light or light to dark) Hatching- lines going in the same direction; the closer the lines, the darker the art work will be. Crosshatching- lines that cross; the more lines that are crosshatched, the more darker is the work
- 11. Stippling and Scribbling • Stippling is the creation of a pattern simulating varying degrees of solidity or shading by using small dots. • Scribbling is a drawing composed of random and abstract lines, generally without ever lifting the drawing device off of the paper.
