Lines: Curves

Curves also have a sense of movement and direction.  They draw the eye in and are therefore useful in planned composition. 

Curves have a sense of elegance and smoothness and can add these feelings to our images. They are commonly seen in buildings but there are also less obviously curves too. For example, trees and flowers. 

Below are some images which use curves to emphasise movement and direction.




Water feature curves
This water feature shoots water a short distance into the air which provides little curve shapes. Because these curves are made of water they are ever moving.
