How are lines used to convey expression in art? Line is the basis of art, and expression, no matter the medium. Lines are created when one point connects to another. They are inherent in all visual art, from painting to sculpture, and can be viewed abstractly in the performing arts. Consider how a musician follows lines and creates them using notes played for different lengths of time. Line is the path created when an object moves from one point to another. In the visual arts, lines are made when you draw or paint marks on a paper, canvas, or when materials such as wood, glass and metal are bent or shaped. Lines are also made by photographers or filmmakers when they choose how to angle their cameras or compose their shots. Lines can be horizontal, vertical or diagonal, straight, curved or free-form. They can be thick or thin, light or dark. Sometimes one line can be all of those things. Lines can be described in many ways — dashed, dotted, rough, smooth, zig-zag, implied.
