艺术造型中的线,也称之为线条、线形或形式线,是造型艺术的构成因素之一。根雕是造型艺术,理所当然的要对线条加以研究和运用。线条,在客观世界里是无迹可寻、却又无处不在的。所谓线条,是指物象的色彩明暗、高低错落、转弯抹角等交合之处的运动迹象,以及物象的边缘界限,也就是物象在空间的位置和轮廓。线条,是人们捕捉客观事物形象的一种抽象功夫,是人的主观意识体验和理解客观事物形象的一种精致的概括。这种抽象和概括,积淀着人的观念和情感内容,体现出一种简化原则和直观特征,它既为视觉所把握,又与心理相适应,使之成为造型艺术中的构成因素和审美对象。运用线条观察客观物象是人类的天性,也是人类的共性。在儿童的朦胧意识里,就不自觉地在地面、墙面运用线条画形;无论在东方或西方,人类对艺术的追求,都是从线条开始的。而且从一开始,就与形式、甚至和形象结合起来。远古的洞穴壁画或者高山崖画,东西方的祖先都不约而同地采用线 The line of art form, also known as line, line or form line, is one of the forming arts.

It not only grasps the visual but also adapts to the psychology, making it a constituent factor and an aesthetic object in plastic arts . The use of lines to observe the objective object is human nature, but also human commonality. In the dim consciousness of children, they unconsciously use lines to paint on the ground and walls. Humankind’s pursuit of art, whether in the East or the West, starts from the lines. And from the very beginning, it has been combined with form and even image. Ancient cave paintings or high cliff paintings, both east and west ancestors are invariably used line
