A line connects two dots

When I was in grade four, the only thing that I remembered during my art class was the definition of a line. My art teacher would ask one of my classmates. "what is a line?" Then my classmate would answer, " a line connects two dots." My art teacher would again ask another student, "you, what is a line?" Then again the answer was " a line connects two dots." He was not yet satisfied and he would call another student and ask the same question and the student would utter the same answer...until he would ask the same question to the whole class! 

And for years, this one and only memory from my art class helped me a lot! Before if you'll ask me the definition of a line, I would quickly answer " A LINE CONNECTS TWO DOTS!" 

A while ago ma'am kitty asked the same question and I was able to answer. Thanks to my grade four art teacher.

At first I thought my knowledge about lines are enough just by knowing that it connects two dots. But I was wrong. Who would have thought, there were a lot of interesting things and facts just by looking at a single line. A vertical line shows stability while a horizontal line may represent death. A straight line is for male while a curvy line is for female. A broken line means inconsistency while a continuous line means otherwise. And there are a lot more to mention. 

After ctra 13, I realized how useful a line is. For me, line is like the foundation or basis of every artwork. Sometimes when I am asked to draw anything, I begin with drawing a single line. That single line can give me an idea what to draw next until I end up making a finish product. Lines are also present in our daily lives. For example, the directional lines on the roads, children forming lines, lines on the floor, lines on your face, etc. And these lines are not just lines. These are functional because they convey meaning which can help us understand things more clearly.

Now, if you'll ask me, "what is a line?" 

My answer is:

A line connects two dots. It is everywhere! It can be Implied, symbolic or psychological. It can convey a lot of characters and moods like: stability for vertical line, relaxed for horizontal line, stiff for straight line, delicate for thin line. Line can symbolize a lot of things and can set a mood....

And lastly I'll say:

thanks to ctra 13!
