Art Education
Line
रेखा
In this Class 9 Art Education topic from the chapter “Elements of Art,” students explore line as a fundamental visual element. They learn to identify and create different types of lines—straight, curved, broken, vertical, horizontal, diagonal, and spiral—and understand how direction, length, thickness, texture, and pressure affect their appearance. The topic also shows how lines can suggest movement, form, distance, mood, and expression in drawings, patterns, and simple compositions.
