Introduction

INTRO to LINE

REVIEW LINE:

Look for Basquiat’s portrait in the video.

Types of Line

Line is categorized by

WEIGHT and DIRECTION

-thick or thin

-straight, curvy, zigzag...

Expressive Quality of Lines

-the feelings the lines represent

Horizontal

Lines

Horizontal line suggests a feeling of rest or repose.

One of the hallmarks of Frank Lloyd Wright's architectural style is its use of strong horizontal elements which stress the relationship of the structure to the land.

Vertical

Lines

Vertical lines communicate a feeling of loftiness and spirituality. Erect lines seem to extend upwards beyond human reach, toward the sky. They often dominate public architecture, from cathedrals to corporate headquarters.

Extended perpendicular lines suggest an overpowering grandeur, beyond ordinary human measure.

Diagonal or Curved

Diagonal Lines suggest a feeling of movement or direction. Since objects in a diagonal position are unstable in relation to gravity, being neither vertical nor horizontal, they are either about to fall, or are already in motion, as is certainly the case for this group of dancers.

Curved Lines on the other hand, suggest confusion, turbulence, even frenzy, as in the violence of waves in a storm, the chaos of a tangled thread, or the turmoil of lines suggested by the forms of a crowd.
