What does an artist value more in expressive line?

Emotion, energy, and experience

Correct answer: C—an expressive line values emotion, energy, and experience. A line is not only a boundary that separates one shape from another. Its pressure, speed, length, direction, curvature, continuity, and variation can communicate how the artist feels or how the subject appears to feel. A quick, forceful line may suggest energy or excitement; a slow, delicate line may suggest gentleness; an uneven line may communicate uncertainty or nervousness. C is correct because expressive drawing focuses on the life and feeling carried by the mark. A is wrong because mechanical sameness may produce uniformity, but it does not necessarily express feeling. B is wrong because neat paper is not the purpose of expressive line. D is wrong because calculation alone cannot explain emotional or energetic marks. Memory cue: expressive lines show what a mark feels like, not merely where an edge is.
