    lines

    Vertical lines awake, alive, vital

    Diagonal movement, action, dynamic


    lines

    Straight lines rigidity, stiffness, formality or


    directness

    Curved lines organic and man-made


    Contour Line
    Lines that define the form of an object
    Implied Lines
    Line that is not really painted
    or drawn but is created by
    A value or color change or
    and series of objects that are
    Lined up someway.
    Gesture Lines

    A Gesture is an expressive movement.


    The purpose of drawing gestures is to capture
    The feeling of motion.
    Shape
    A two dimensional area that is defined in some way>

    Geometric Shapes Organic Shapes


    Geometric Shapes
    Geometric Shapes are
    precise shapes that can
    be described using
    Mathematical formulas.
    Work by Joan Miro that features geometric
    shapes

    techniques used to create values
    with parallel lines.
    Stippling is a way of using dots
    To create values.
    Shading or
    Blending
    is a way of
    creating
    value and
    making
