Line, Communication, and the Impulse to Order
In mathematics, a line can be defined as the path made by a moving point. Lines in math are without width or end; lines in art do have width as well as endpoints.
The weathered door is adorned with various lengths of molding (lines); the door is set in a wooden frame, which in its self is a line.
Power lines, the siding, window pains, there are lines everywhere in this composition...

In this composition, the boats' vertical masts can be seen in the middle ground, and the black lines in the foreground are formed to make a fence, also there is the pier that runs horizontally in the background--another line.
The balusters, the treads, and the curved handrail of the spiraling staircase portrayed in this piece can all be described as lines.
