LINE
Line
is the most basic visual element. Lines can be used to define shapes and figures, but also to indicate motion, emotion, and other elements. Contour lines and hatching In a woodblock print of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse by Albrecht Dürer, contour lines — lines that define shapes — are used to mark the outside of all of the elements of the image. The outline of the hat on one of the horsemen, for example, is clearly made by a few black contour lines. This simple device is so effective that it is hard to remember that there is no hat here, only a few black marks on a white page. |

TEXTURE
Texture is one of the elements of art that is used to represent how an object appears or feels. Sculptors and architects can create texture in a three-dimensional work of art by manipulating the surface texture of a piece. Painters can convey the illusion of texture in a two-dimensional work of art to imply how an object or subject matter might feel if it was really touched.
