A line is a mark made by a moving point and having a psychological impact according to its direction, weight, and the variations in its direction and weight. It is an enormously useful and versatile graphics device that is made to function in both visual and verbal ways. It can act as a symbolic language, or it can communicate emotion through its character and direction.
A line is not necessarily an artificial creation of the artist or designer. It exists in nature.

The horizontal line suggests a feeling of rest or repose. Objects parallel to the earth are at rest in relation to gravity. Therefore compositions in which horizontal lines dominate tend to be quiet and restful in feeling. One of the hallmarks of Frank Lloyd Wright's architectural style is its use of strong horizontal elements which stress the relationship of the structure to the land.
