You might remember from high school geometry that a line consists of two points. How can we
extend this rather conceptual definition to describe "line" as an element in art? Your 2D design
book gives us a great way to think of lines:
Just imagine the different materials you can use to draw or make a line, and consider that various
types of lines each will make. For example, a charcoal line will look different from a pen line.
Sand laid on a floor will create a different line than a rope hanging from the ceiling. The line we
perceive along the edge of a cement block feels very different from a line made by a brush
soaked in paint dragged across the surface of a canvas.
LINE is a very important record of feeling or document of implied action. LINES speak: the
directional energy of both visible an invisible lines is capable of communicating messages of
speed and direction.
"Invisible" lines (or implied lines or imaginary lines) trace paths of motion across the visual
field. Invisible lines are very powerful, yet may not affect everyone exactly the same way.

THICK lines often make the work of art appear aggressive and strong.
CURVING lines often create the appearance of harmony, rhythm and gracefullness.
ZIGZAG and DIAGONAL lines are read as energetic, explosive, and dramatic.
