2. Line Direction

                                                              Banksy, Flower Thrower


The direction of lines help the viewer feel the movement or lack of movement in an image. Horizontal lines show rest, vertical lines show activity, and diagonal lines shows motion.
This graffiti image shows a man throwing a bouquet of flowers using quite a bit of force. The arch of his body as well as the diagonal lines of his right leg and left arm show the motion of his body about to throw the flowers.
