What is the Element of Art, Line?
Line is one of the seven Elements of Art that are used to create an artwork. All art needs line, and line can look differently! Any mark, splash, splot, stroke, or dot is a line. The other Elements of Art are shape, form, texture, value, space, and color.
Line is an element of art that is defined by a moving point. Line can be thick, thin, expressive, still. Line can be vertical, horizontal, or diagonal. Line can be descriptive, abstract, or implied. Line creates things like shape or form. Line can be used to create elements in a landscape, or texture. Line can create patterns or doodles. Line is a very important element of art.
According to Wikipedia, lines are “marks moving in a space between two points whereby viewer can visualize the stroke movement, direction and intention based on how the line is oriented.[1][2] Lines describe an outline, capable of producing texture according to their length and curve.[3] There are different types of lines artists may use, including, actual, implied, vertical, horizontal, diagonal and contour lines, which all have different functions.[3] Lines are also situational elements, requiring the viewer to have knowledge of the physical world in order to understand their flexibility, rigidity, synthetic nature, or life.” (Wikipedia)
