3. Line as Emotion (list how characteristic conveys emotion)

                                                Peter Rubens, Battle of Lapiths and Centaurs


Lines can be full of variety due to the adjectives that describe them such as think, thin, rough, smooth, etc.  Light, thin lines seem to convey and innocence while dark, thick lines tend to convey a bold, awkward or stressful image.
This drawing is full of different lines- dark and light. The light lines are putting the left side of the image sort of in the background- it is not the first thing the viewer looks at. On the right however, the dark lines are portraying a brutal battle that is occurring, where the woman is trying to save herself and escape. The dark lines make the viewer realize there is trouble in this stressful situation.
