Lesson completed
Lines are so important as lines could make shape, value, hatchet lines, squiggly. zig zag and more. Lines can be thick, thin and diagonal. Lines could make a person feel something different and as one creates or admires a work of art. A person will defiantly feel something different then in the moment.

Lesson in progress
Lines are used in art for a few specific purposes in pictorial art--to direct ones vision to a particular part of the picture; to separate different parts of the picture; to shade a part of the picture in order to give it greater depth or significance; to enclose an object or comprise of the object itself, both for specific emphasis; to interfere with an existing object and reduce the degree of its previous perfection; to show perspective by implication of the way objects are reduced in scale as they approach the horizon.
