# Chapter 3 - Line
Goals:
- Distinguish among outline, contour, and implied line
- Describe the different qualities that lines might possess
## Varities of Line
Goal:
- What are the differences between outline, contour, and implied line?
### Outline and Contour Line
- Line indicates the edge of a two- or three-dimensional form
- A shape can be indicated by means of an **outline**, usually used to emphasive flatness of a shape
- **Contour lines** from the outer edge of a three-dimensional shape and suggest its volume, its recession or projection
in space
- Perceived line that marks the border of an object in space
### Implied Line
- An **implied line** is a line where no continuous mark connects one point to another, but where the connection is
visually suggested
- Line of sight is (where figures are looking) is often an implied line
- Implied line can serve to create a sense of directional movement and force
## Qualities of Line
Goal:
- Whata re the different qualities that lines might possess?
### Expressive Qualities of Line
- **Expressive lines** express the emotion, the feelings of the artist
- Vincent van Gogh uses expressive lines
- **Impasto** is building up paint in thick strokes such that they possess a "body" of their own, almost sculptural
materiality
- A Lewitt painting is not the actual painting, but the instructions to make a Lewitt painting
- **Vanitas** paintings are paintings that are a reminder that the pleasurable things in life inevitably fade
## Line Orientation
- Creating hard angles with lines by using a grid of parallels or other such methods we can make a work more
mathematical and analytical
- Creating more flowing lines can make a painting more emotional and give it a sense of energy and a dynamic quality
# Chapter 4 - Shape and Space
Goals:
- Differentiate between shape and mass
- Describe how three-dimensional space is represented on a flat surface using perspective
- Explain why modern artists have challenged the means of representing three dimensions on two-dimensional surfaces
- A **shape** is a two-dimensional area -- that is, its boundaries can be measured in terms of height and width
- **Perspective** is a system that allows the picture plane -- the flat surface of the canvas -- to function as a window
through which a specific scene is presented the viewer
## Shape and Mass
Goal:
- How does shape differ from mass?
- The **figure-ground** relationship is the visual relationship between a composition's foreground and background,
between the object and the space it occupies. Figure-ground relationships also refer to illusion of making design
elements appear to move forward or recede.
- **Positive shapes** are shapes that dominate our attention and are predominant in a given scene
- **Negative shapes** are shapes that are implied (basically cut out from more predominant shapes)
- A **mass** or **form** is a solid that occupies a three-dimensional volume
## Negative Space
- **Negative Space** is empty space that acquires a sense of volume and form by means of the outline or frame that
surrounds it
