What Emotions Do Lines Communicate?

In order to explore lines, I drew my bracelet that I found lines in.  Lines can represent different emotions.  For example, curved lines often represent nature and calmness while straight lines often represent structure and rigidness.

We investigated lines and experimented with them again October 2.  

We drew four types of drawings, outlines (top left), contour (top right), structural (bottom left), and gestural.  Outlines have no depth and are simply what you might see if it were a shadow.  Contour drawings have a few more lines and a little more information.  Structural drawings have much more detail and more lines.  We practiced a new method called cross hatching (see structural drawing).  Gestural drawings capture the movement of the object.
My partner Sonia told me that I should work on my gestural and structural drawings, working on shading and portraying movement.
