This episode is all about the Element of Art: Line. In Art, we consider a mark with length and direction to be a line. Lines can be long or short, they can be straight, wavy, zig-zag, jagged, thick, or thin. Lines can be solid or dotted; we might even talk about a line that is not physically present in the work but merely suggested by other elements we see.
If you enjoy the podcast, please follow and rate it on Spotify or wherever you get your podcasts. If you want to learn more about art and art history, check out my other podcast, Who ARTed, where each week I cover a different artist and their work along with fun fact mini-episodes every Friday to give you an interesting story that isn't covered in the standard art history survey course.

Art Smart Trailer
Visual art is all around us. I would go so far as to say that art is the most significant development in human history. Art is how and why we got out of the trees. Art is the basis for communication. It is what enables people to learn from each other and build off of each other’s ideas. It is how people have come to not only understand the world around them but to envision a means of improving their circumstances.
Because I believe that art is so important to humanity, I have dedicated my career to helping others become more thoughtful creators and consumers of art. I earned my BFA from The School of the Art Institute of Chicago and I have over a decade of experience as an art teacher. The Art Smart podcast is here to help you understand the elements of art and the principles of design so you can be a more thoughtful creator and consumer of art.
Whether you are an artist, and art lover or just looking for some info you can share to sound smart and impress people at fact dinner parties, Art Smart is for you because art is for everyone.
