Line

• Line is perhaps the most fundamental building block of art.

• 2 artists exemplify the usage of line– Pablo Picasso– Henri Matisse

Contour Lines

• The most basic way to use line in drawing is through contour lines

• Contour lines:     Contour means "outline", and presents exterior edges of objects. A plain contour has a clean, connected line, no shading and emphasizes an open "shell" of the subject.
