How does line work in turning the viewer's gaze?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: By providing direction and flow
Lines guide the viewer’s eye from one part of an artwork to another. Their direction, curve and continuity create visual flow and can draw attention towards a particular area. Removing colour does not guide the gaze. Exam tip: remember the functions of line—direction, movement, form and expression.
