Line is a core component of visual thought.
In Western art, various qualities of line are admired, including clarity, precision, stylishness, fluidity, flexibility, and strength.
Line can be used in many ways:
• To create simple divisions
• To construct shapes and designs
• To make letterforms, signs, and symbols
• To suggest form by using varying line weight
• To create dynamic movement by using the “pull” of the line
• To create a sense of expression by exaggerating the weight and movement of the line
• To suggest three-dimensional space
• To create texture
• To transmit the touch of the artist
• To describe form by delineating contours
