- 1. ~Lines~ 9 March 2011 Mika Lee
- 2. What are these? Line is one of the most basic elements in art & design. One can create so many kinds of lines just by drawing. You get many types of lines such as vertical, horizontal, diagonal, curved, zig-zag and jagged lines. They all suggest different things and feelings. Most artists and designers today use lines which represent themselves.
- 4. Curved Lines Curved lines give off a sense of energy. Soft curves give a softening effect on the composition. Sharp lines, however, may suggest violence or turmoil.
- 5. Jagged Lines Jagged lines suggest uncertainty or anger.
- 6. Zig-Zag Lines These are diagonal lines that join at points. They give off a feeling of excitement and movement. The change of direction also creates a feeling of confusion. They can imply many things as they break down or ascend up.
- 7. Horizontal Lines These lines run from left to right. Horizontal lines are soft and feminine, thus making one feel at peace. In the landscape above, the lines give you a sense of space.
- 8. Vertical Lines These lines give off a sense of masculinity and height.
- 9. Thin Lines These fragile, nimbly lines seem easy to break or push over. On the other hand, thin lines give us a feeling of elegance. They are delicate.
- 10. Thick Lines Thick lines appear hard to knock over. They give off a feeling of strength and emphasises nearby elements. These lines are bold and sort of makes a statement on its own.
