So simple, yet so complex. “Line: 7 Elements of Art” takes a look at lines, something the untrained artist would not notice, but the trained artist would know makes up just about everything about the subject. Written for starter art students, “Line” is an entry in a series dedicated to the many aspects of art. Focusing on lines, one of the most crucial and subtle elements, author Jane Castillo gives readers what they need to know to appreciate and apply lines in their own work. “Line” would do well in any art studies collection.

Become visually literate in a flash!

7 Elements of Art is a dynamic new series of art books for young people featuring a blend of today’s hot artists and photographers.

Each title focuses on a single element of art, Line, Shape, Color, Space, Texture, Value, and Form.

Line, the first of the series, presents bold, colorful photos of lines in both our world and in contemporary art. An insightful connection between our everyday, global visual culture and contemporary artwork is elegantly achieved. Can you find the lines that are all around you?

This innovative presentation is a sure hit for children and educators alike. From looking at ancient Greek columns to today’s hot artists, makes for learning about the visual element of Line fun.

I am excited about the release of my first book, Line, 7 Elements of Art. It is the first in a series of 7 books (1 book per element).

As an artist and art educator I realized how it seems that artists intuitively just know how to use the elements in their work. They do.Teaching about the elements as a foundation in the introduction of art education, really needed to be clarified and simplified. How do I explain this to kids? How about adults that don’’t understand stuffy art?
So, I rolled up my sleeves and gave myself the challenge of demystifying them so that they can be understood within seconds.
This way, an aesthetic appreciation of art and design develops within minutes, quite automatically. Whew!

The result is a beautiful collection of photographs and art in a very easy to understand picture book. A feast for the eyes, all featured artists and photographers are contemporary, from all over the world. Talk about a current visual culture…

So, impress your friends. Order your copy today. The art gods will smile upon you.
