LINE EXPLORATION

An imaginary lime create by positioning a series of points or short lines so that our brain joins them, such as a dotted or dashed line

A line used to follow the edges of forms and in doing so describe their outlines contour lines accurately describe the shape of forms by precisely recording their edges, contours, and intersections.

A description of a form in which an object is revealed by distinct contours in some areas and soft, or areas faded into the ground in others. Portions of the line will be missing, yet still connected.

Seems to spring fro the artist's emotions of feelings. Similar to gesture line except the focus is on the artist's understanding and essence, not the object being drawn.

Lines are a graphic construct; they do not really exist in nature. They will portray either the outline of a shape or the edge of light and shadow.
