Why are form analysis and mood analysis both necessary while studying line?

Because line creates object form and also expresses feeling

The governing concept is the dual function of line as a structural and expressive element. Form analysis examines how contour, outline, direction, proportion, and repeated marks construct an object, define its parts, and suggest volume or structure. Mood analysis examines how qualities such as thickness, speed, sharpness, softness, curvature, and rhythm communicate calmness, tension, movement, rigidity, or tenderness. Option A is correct because both kinds of analysis are needed for a complete reading. Option B wrongly denies line’s form-building role, while option C wrongly denies its emotional role. Option D confuses line study with colour selection. Looking at only one side would produce an incomplete interpretation of the artwork.
