Description
What are the characteristics of expressive lines in art?
Expressive lines are lines used in drawing that convey emotions, feelings, or a sense of movement, rather than just representing the physical form of an object. What we will cover in our class: These lines can be bold, loose, or fluid, and often serve to enhance the overall mood or energy of a piece. In these classes we will explore value, color mixing, composition, brushwork, focal points, edges, etc.
