PRINCIPALS of DESIGN - LINE (1 of 16)

The principles of design are the fundamental parts of an artwork.  Identifying these principals is one way to understand an artwork.


#1 - LINE

         A line can be described as the path of a point moving through space.  In an artwork, there are many types of line.  We can look for the direction of the line, the feeling of the line, the quality of the line, and how the lines move our eye through artworks.  


Line can be described in many ways:


                 active - passive                            bold - delicate              
           flowing - light                              straight - curved
           thick - thin                                   long - short
           broken - continuous                   geometric - organic
           implied - actual                          precise - irregular
           contour - outline                        vertical - horizontal
           perpendicular - parallel            zig-zag - direct

Elements of Art:

  • LINE:  a line is a pathway, either visible of implied, that moves the eye through a piece of work.
  • SHAPE:  shape is the two-dimensional area taken up by an object.
  • FORM:  this element refers to the illusion of a three-dimensional object on a two-dimensional surface.
  • VALUE:  value is the lightness or darkness of a color, or of black.
  • TEXTURE:  texture in drawing or painting refers to the way we discern the qualitys of an object's surface.
  • COLOR:  we all know what a "color" is, but not everyone realizes how an artist's choice of color impacts the viewer.  
  • SPACE:  space is the area within the borders of your work; it is what fills the length, width, and perceied depth of a work or art.
