One of the hallmarks of Frank
Lloyd Wright's architectural styleis its use of strong horizontal

CHARACTER AND DIRECTION
Diagonal linessuggest a feeling of movement ordirection. In a two dimensional composition diagonal lines are also
used to indicate depth, an illusion of perspective thatpulls the viewer into the picture-creating an illusion of aspace that one could move about within.
Since objects in a diagonal position areunstable in relation to gravity, beingneither vertical nor horizontal, they areeither about to fall, or are already inmotion, as is certainly the case for this
group of dancers.

Kualiti garisan merujuk kepada setiap sifat garisan yang dihasilkan semasa
melukis seperti ketebalan atau nipisnya garisan tersebut.
Kualiti garis itu sendiri menyumbang kepada mood pada karya, dan bagipelukis mahir, kualiti garisan adalah ekspresi asas gaya mereka.
Pelukis akan menentukan setiap garisan yang akan dihasilkan, sama ada
satu garisan yang tanpa banyak variasi, variasi dalam pemberatan seperti
pada lukisan kontour, garisan berulang-ulang (seperti pergerakan/ritma),
pergerakan fizikal.
