2) Line Direction


This piece of artwork by Jusepe de Ribera, titled Seven Line Studies and Six Finished Studies of Eyes, is an example of line direction.  People always look into someones eyes and know which way they are looking by simply following their eye movement.  The implied line between the pupil of the eye and what it is looking at also implies the direction they are looking.  Also the line direction of the eyebrows express emotions of the person.
