Lines are fundamental elements that are ubiquitous in life, nature, design, and art, according to the document. Lines can show complexity with simplicity as a mark on a surface. They are found everywhere in straight, curved, organic, and branching forms in architecture, nature, and bright, colorful art with black outlines. Lines have the power to convey scale, feel light or continuous, and give a sense of wonderment through Gestalt principles of figure and ground relationships.

5. They’re all around us…. These lines almost feel to me like they just want to continue…keep “branching off” Nature
