Line Activity

Lines...

Lines are important in art and graphic design, serving as a visual foundation to convey movement, shape, and emotion.
Bold or subtle, lines shape compositions, define contours, and influence the aesthetic of a design, creating diverse visual elements.
Lines organise information, establish hierarchy, and communicate with precision or fluidity, guiding the viewer's gaze and expressing a variety of emotions.
