Line Direction

The horizontal lines of the buidling's architecture imply both rest and tranquility. We are able to make the visual connection that the building is not in motion but still and sturdy in it's design.



This painting on the other hand, is full of diagonal line direction and a feeling of movement in the figures. While we may fully understand basketball to be an active sport, the diagonals emphasize movement and action in a way that vertical or horizontal lines simply fail to do.
