AWARENESS
WHAT ARE LINES?
In art, a line represents many
things, such as an actual line, a
person or a building. A line can be
thick or thin; straight, wavy, curved
or angular; continuous or broken;
dotted, dashed or a combination
of any of these. Artists used lines to
define and enclosed spaces.
 The types of lines and the ideas
suggested by each of them

straightforwardness.
a. Vertical Lines – these lines convey uprightness, dignity and
assurance.

b. Horizontal lines – these lines suggest calmness, peace and

sobriety.
2. Dynamic lines – signify movements, cheerfulness
and continuity.

chaos and disorder.
