2 - Line Direction

Line direction is line that moves, creates motion or how a force acts. Horizontal lines imply lack of motion while diagonal lines mean movement and action.

In this work of art, the lines are horizontal and vertical. This makes the piece feel peaceful and sleep like. The lines have a sense of unity to them and are all about the same thickness so they calm rather than excite the viewer. The direction of the lines make the work feel routine and predictable rather than chaotic.
