Art Education
Line
रेखा
In Class 10 Art Education, this topic introduces line as a fundamental visual element and explores how it shapes form, space, movement, and mood. Students learn to recognise and create different line qualities—such as straight, curved, broken, thick, thin, light, and expressive lines—and study contour, gesture, direction, rhythm, and texture. Through observation and practice, they understand how line supports drawing, composition, structure, and visual expression in artworks.
