Defining Line


The author defines line as an element of art that is the path of a moving point through space.  To create a line you need texture, size and direction. Dimension is like a 3D effect that tells the viewer what is supposed to be closer to them and it gives the effect that it is farther away. Artists create line by using varieties of texture, value and depth. An "outline" line is a line that can be an edge around an object but not necessarily bolder than the other lines, we just assume. An line does not have to be connected to be considered a line we just imply that it is. That is why it is called an "implied" line.
