A line is a basic visual element that can be used to communicate different feelings and ideas. Lines can be horizontal, vertical, diagonal, curved, converging, or radial. Horizontal lines suggest rest or repose while vertical lines communicate loftiness or spirituality. Diagonal lines imply movement or direction. Curved lines indicate movement as well. Converging lines suggest distance while radial lines are used to depict explosions or violence. Lines are versatile tools that can be used to split spaces, surfaces, sketches, draw attention, create textures, tones, values, and 3D shapes.
