Question: How to i draw seven elements of art!?
i've got to draw 7 bottles using each of the elements of art!. I've done colour, tone, shape, pattern and texture but i'm not sure how to draw line and form!.

Can you please tell me what line and form mean in art and how i could draw them in a bottle!?

Thanks xxWww@QuestionHome@Com

You could start at the bottom of the bottle and spiral upwards like a slinky with a continous line!.

(noun) - Form is an element of art!. At its most basic, a form is a three-dimensional geometrical figure (i!.e!.: sphere, cube, cylinder, cone, etc!.), as opposed to a shape, which is two-dimensional, or flat!.

In a broader sense, form, in art, means the whole of a piece's visible elements and the way those elements are united!. In this context, form allows us, as viewers, to mentally capture the work and understand it!.

You could draw a ship in the bottle, a teddy bear or anything that you would like!. It mentally captures the work and you understand what it is by the shape!. Www@QuestionHome@Com

For your line drawing use a pen or a marker and draw your bottle with one continuous line making sure not to lift your pen from the paper until finished!. For the form drawing put the bottle under a strong light and draw it on a sheet of brown or gray paper using only white chalk (for the light areas) and black chalk or charcoal (for the dark areas)!.

Needlewing already gave you the definitions of line and form!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

line would be a bottle that looks as if it's made out of wire!. Try out different line types or something!.
Form I'm not sure!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
