"Line and Form" by Walter Crane is an exploration of artistic design principles focusing on line and form. Originating from a series of art school lectures, the book explains outline as a key artistic element, detailing its roots and uses. Crane presents different drawing techniques, including progressive and calligraphic methods, and examines how line can communicate emotion and texture. This sets the stage for understanding the essential connection between line and form in art, offering students and artists ways to improve their expressive abilities.
