I am a senior in high school at the moment and we are currently creating monotypes in my IB art class. The motion you have portrayed through your work is incredible and I just thought I'd let you know and see if you have any tips for inspired artists! Thanks, Madison Oliver Senior, Atlee High School Mechanicsville, VA Dear Mr. Hersh,

The only type of line I would discourage would be a self-conscious one. Is this a trick question, Joe? The only type of line I would discourage would be a self-conscious one.

On my latest painting, some of the lines actually formed shapes. The painting in question is on my fb wall, posted last thurs. Good questions, Ian.

In life drawing classes we always started with gesture drawings and then when 'warmed-up' we would draw the model with a single line without looking at the paper and without lifting the pencil from the paper. When does a line become a form? When does a line become a shape? When is a line no longer a line? Howard, your post and the responses certainly expand the definition and the importance of line.

Serra's work evokes sheer presence. Here are Serra sculptures, highly touted (rightly so) for their physicality. And yet, without the graceful arcs and curves, they would be lacking. So, when I THINK about his work, I see the lines. That's all I was getting at. That line is elemental and underlies most things. Yes, of course you’re right. Serra’s work evokes sheer presence.
