Lines in art are like the building blocks of a picture. They help artists show shapes, movement, and feelings. Imagine drawing a happy face with a big smile. That’s using lines to show happiness! Lines can be straight, wavy, or zigzag, and each type can make the picture look different. They can make patterns. They help tell a story and make the art more interesting and fun to look at.
