-Line Quality = width of the lines

-Contour lines define the edges of form & shape

-Gestural lines show movement through an image

-Organic shapes like leaves, clouds, and people are made by nature.

-Silhouettes remove texture to create a flat 2D shapes

- Form=3D

-roughness, smoothness, sharpness, shaggy fur, sticky,

-texture demonstrates how the artwork would feel to the touch, either simulated or what it feels like

-Haptic texture: felt through touch screens

-simulated texture: when smooth surfaces APPEAR to be textured. (Illusion)
