Kandinsky: In Between the Lines

Activity

Artists use lines to express movement, texture, and space. Step into the Juryfreie Murals room and identify the many ways lines are used.

For instance, repeated lines create a sense of movement. Overlapping lines help suggest texture, while the weight and proximity of lines, such as having thick bold lines in the foreground and thin delicate lines in the background, convey the illusion of space.

Extend the activity by selecting a section of the mural to sketch. Remember, only pencils are allowed in the galleries.
