Years ago, my little friend shown me a piece of paper with lines only as his drawing. I did not understand that and did not praise him for his work. If I had known at that time I would have praised him and encouraged him to draw.
Line
In the visual arts, the use of line is perhaps the single most important element of design.
It denotes boundaries and can be actual or virtual. It can be real and apparent, or
an invisible structure that guides our gaze between points on canvas or print.
The use of line can significantly affect the compositional success of photographers’
images. Lines are powerful design elements that re-enforce the three-dimensionality of
the world. It’s a deeply primeval impulse –
as children, our first scribblings on paper are lines; so were the first cave markings
recorded by humankind. Lines are always used in artistic terms as the primary tool to
represent our understanding of the world.
