Lines can be straight, curved, vertical, horizontal or diagonal. As line change direction can become zigzag, curved line can join to make a shape.

Implied line: sense of line created by the perceptual tendency to connect a series of points: ex) alma woodsey thomas, light blue nursery. Psychological line: conceptual connection-an invisible linear path- between or among elements of characters in a composition: ex) emily mary osborne, nameless and friendless. Motion is implied in line as moving point. So vertical, horizontal and diagonal mean movement of line. Horizontal lines in nature suggest calm and stability.
