Understanding Line: The Foundation of Art and Design

In our first instalment of a 14-week art series, we explore line—the fundamental element of visual art. Mastering line is essential for defining shapes and conveying emotion. We examine different types of lines, including contour lines and cross contour lines, and their expressive qualities.

Highlighting artists like Alexander Calder and Sam Cox (Mr Doodle), we demonstrate the timeless power of line in art. Engage in practical exercises to enhance your skills in line drawing and shading. Join us next week as we dive into the element of shape. Subscribe for more artistic insights!
