POINT
� The point is the smallest expression element.
� It is usually rounded, but can also be square, triangular, starred,
irregular, etc...
� The point can present different sizes. If the size is too big, the
point will be considered as a plane.
4
� Changing the shapes, colours and sizes of points, we can create a
sensation of depth.
THE EXPRESSIVE POWER OF POINTSTHE EXPRESSIVE POWER OF POINTS
� Using the technique of pointillism, you can create a painting by
using only points.
“Composition number VIII”. Vasili Kandinsky
“Sunday afternnon on the island of Grand Jatte”.Seurat

LINE� It can be defined as a point in movement.
� Every line has two dimensions: width and length. Lines are
always longer than wider.
“Starred night”. Van Gogh

TYPES OF LINES ITYPES OF LINES I
� SIMPLE LINES: they are made by one trait.
STRAIGTH LINES CURVE LINES

� COMPOUND LINES: they are made by two or more simple
lines in different directions.

THE EXPRESSIVE POWER OF LINESTHE EXPRESSIVE POWER OF LINES
� Horizontal lines: they transmit a feeling of
stability, balance, calm and lack of
movement.
� Vertical lines: they transmit a feeling of
� Curved lines: they create a sensation of
dynamism or movement.
� Vertical lines: they transmit a feeling of
stability too.
9
� We can create sensation ofdepth by drawing vertical or
horizontal lines decreasing in
size.
� By crossing lines in different
directions we can create a
sensation of light andshadow.
shadows are made by concentrating lines
Brightness is made by dispersing lines or blanks.
10
� It can be defined as a two dimensional surface, with width and
length. The plane can be represented by:
� an outline.
PLANE
� a coloured shape.
� a form or textured surface.
11
� REGULAR: they are the simplest kind of planes. Their
sides have the same length and their angles are the same.
They transmit a sensation of stability.
TYPES OF PLANESTYPES OF PLANES
� IRREGULAR: their sides and angles have different length.
They create a sensation of instability or movement.
12
� Superimposing forms we can create
sensation of proximity-remoteness.
� If the forms of a composition
decrease in size, it creates a
sensation of depth.
THE EXPRESSIVE POWER OF PLANESTHE EXPRESSIVE POWER OF PLANES
� If we superimpose one formover another, the effect will be
higher.
13
� Lighting the colours of a composition produces a sensation of
remoteness.
� If we change the size and the colour of a composition and
superimpose the forms, the effect will be higher.
