Art is just a bunch of lines.

I remember reading somewhere that an artist could spend their whole life drawing a single line, and it is after they master that line that they can truly create something dazzling and unique. I think that holds a lot of truth. Art after all is just an array of lines of varying lengths, angles, and colors. Its up to the artist to use geometric and photonic(this might be a made of word) properties to give an image meaning.

I believe this theory is consistent with other forms of expression as well. Take music for example. You can call it a tone or a note or a sound but when you string them all together something inspiring happens. Anyone can play a song to a specific beat but the truly amazing musicians are then ones that can play a song in and out of a metronome but are seemingly always on perfect time...more on this later, time for class.
