Line

What is a Line?

Seliger, Mark. "Penelope Cruz Monica Cruz." Photography Pictures. Feedio.com, n.d. Web. 21 Feb. 2013.

A line is something seen by its length, but can also have varying widths. A line can be created by setting a point into motion. Shown above is Penelope Cruz wearing a plaid shirt containing lines with various lengths and widths.


What is an Implied Line?

Joana. "Naomi Campbell in Alexander McQueen at Late Night With Jimmy Fallon."Fashion Gone Rogue The Latest in Editorials and Campaigns RSS. N.p., 6 Feb. 2013. Web. 21 Feb. 2013.

Implied Lines are like the "connect-the-dots" coloring pages you did as a kid. Anytime your eye catches a positioned series of points and automatically connects them, that is an implied line. Above is Naomi Campbell wearing an Alexander McQueen piece. At the bottom of the dress, where the black fabric meets the white fabric,  are multiple cutouts that the eye tends to connect to form the shapes/design. Her left hand also shows implied line by the way it connects side by side to the rest of the bottom of her dress where the pattern of cutouts are.


What are Physic Lines?

Physic Lines are lines or points that aren't really there, yet we create a mental connection and feel as if there is one. This happens when a figure is looking or pointing into a certain direction, which causes the viewer to look at what the figure is pointing or looking at.


What are Cross Contour Lines?

Lines that appear to wrap around a form or create the pattern by using lines is known as cross contour lines. The image above shows cross contour lines because the lines wrap around the form of converse shoes that are at an angle.
