Basic Shapes and Lines in Art

A line is a path created by a moving point, mark or object. Examples of lines include straight, swirly, wavy, jagged, dotted, dashed, broken, thick, thin, zig zag, diagonal, vertical, horizontal, curved, bold, parallel, and perpendicular lines.

A shape is a two-dimensional (2D) flat enclosed area, while a form is a three-dimensional (3D) object with height, width, and depth.

The primary colors are red, yellow, and blue. When mixed, they create the secondary colors of purple (violet), orange, and green.
