EoA: Line

Who would have thought that LINES could get a whole blog post of their own??  Certainly not I; that is, until today.  Lines are incredible complex, when you really think about them.  They're what I call "complex simple."

Lines are simple.  _______________  <-Line.  Blah.  Done.  But that one line can become so many things!

Thicker, thinner, dashed, hashed, messy, squiggly, straight, bold, almost transparent, double, triple, curved, angled...  Lines are what makes up the world around us.

Your house has lines, your dog has lines.  Your cat has lines, your face has lines.

They're sort of the main building blocks for creating a piece of art.  The goal of art, after all, is to share what the artists see.  Since everyone sees things differently, the world has many truths in it.
