Visual Arts: Line

Study the artwork and notice all the detail created by using only straight lines.
 
Look at the detail of her hair – no curved lines, but it gives the illusion of curls.
 
By lengthening and shortening the lines at the top of her head, fingers and toes, the artist created a curve.
 
Drawing lines closer together creates shading and depth.
 
All these techniques complete the illusion of a three-dimensional, shapely model walking the catwalk at a fashion show.
 
You will create your own design on page 7 in class.
