"Line and Form" by Walter Crane is a treatise on art and design written in the late 19th century. This work centers around the principles of line and form in artistic creation, exploring their historical significance and practical applications in drawing and design. The author presents a variety of methods and approaches for students and practitioners in the arts, aiming to enhance their understanding and capacity for artistic expression. The opening of the book establishes its academic foundation, indicating that it comprises a series of lectures originally delivered at an art school. Crane emphasizes the importance of outline as a fundamental aspect of art, discussing its origins and functions. He introduces various drawing methods, such as the progressive method and the calligraphic method, while also touching on the emotional and textural qualities conveyed through line. The text sets the stage for a deeper exploration of these concepts, framing the subsequent chapters on the language of line and the relationship between line and form in artistic endeavors.
