Tangible, Sensory & Expressive Quality of Materials and Line材料与线条的有形、感官与表现特质

The activity of making a mark is expressive and tangible. And the mark itself carries associations. When discussing your own work and that of others, you may find it useful to refer to the qualities of line and materials.
制作标记的活动是表达性和具体的。标记本身也带有联想。在讨论自己的作品和他人的作品时，引用线条和材料的特点可能会很有用。

or appear very static.
或显得非常静态。

A line may also imply movement or direction. The mark’s materiality, its color, whether the mark is rough or smooth; loose, organic, tight, graphic, naive, minimal, baroque, decorative, complex, brushy, loopy, straight, jagged, single weight, calligraphic, degree of transparency—all of these attributes, or idiosyncrasies, may convey connotations and hold eloquence.
一条线也可能暗示运动或方向。标记的物质性、其颜色、标记是粗糙还是光滑；松散、有机、紧凑、图形、天真、简约、巴洛克式、装饰性、复杂、毛刷状、环形、直线、锯齿状、单重、书法、透明度程度——所有这些属性或特性，都可能传达含义并具有雄辩性。
