2.Which among the lines make the structure attractive? Why?

For me the line that makes the structure more attractive is the
Horizontal lines because it’s make a piece of art it seems like it is
calm and peaceful.

3. Select three (3) of the lines used by the creator of the structure,
and how do these affect you?

Lines could be used to show different feelings and

moods. Composition is how the elements are arranged.
Horizontal lines make a piece of art seem like it is calm and
peaceful. Diagonal lines are used to create a sense of
movement and tension. Vertical lines create a sense of
everything being in order.
 Vertical lines often communicate a sense of height because
they are perpendicular to the earth, extending upwards toward
 the sky. In this church interior, vertical lines suggest spirituality,
rising beyond human reach toward the heavens.
 Horizontal lines suggest a feeling of rest or repose because
objects parallel to the earth are at rest. In this landscape,
horizontal lines also help give a sense of space. The lines
delineate sections of the landscape, which recede into space.
They also imply continuation of the landscape beyond the
picture plane to the left and right.
 Diagonal lines convey a feeling of movement. Objects in a
diagonal position are unstable. Because they are neither vertical
nor horizontal, they are either about to fall or are already in
motion.
