3) Line as Emotion


This self portrait by Vincent van Gogh has many lines intertwined within the painting.  The direction of the lines in the background make a spiral shape.  The background waves from the blue brush strokes provokes a calm and somewhat depressing emotion and mood.  Also, the sharp lines of his eyes and eyebrows give off as an emotion from facial expressions.
