I found during my research for my dissertation that there are many elements of aesthetics that can affect story and how it is perceived by an audience. For instance, colour, background and layout and character are all really important elements of aesthetics, as they effect a viewer personally and on an emotional level. However, I found that quality of line, whilst it can be used to create texture within work, thus creating a more realistic environment, as stated by Parr (2016), it doesn't necessarily affect how the story is perceived when used on a character, as quality of line is very subjective.
Having said this however, it can be used to create energy within a character and can be used to direct the movement of an animation, as Joanna Quinn believes. I found through my own practical, that quality of line is in fact subjective, as I found myself favoring the second test, as I felt that there was a lot more energy and consideration of line behind this animation. This was due to the fact that I was able to control the pressure of the pen more than when I was using a tablet. I also found that I preferred the tactile feel of using traditional methods, as I felt that I had more freedom over my line.
In conclusion, it could be argued that quality of line can be used to created rich and enticing textures that help to create rich and immersive environments, thus increasing the level of enjoyment for a viewer. But overall, quality of line is a subjective choice that is influenced highly by personal desire. Therefore, although quality of line is an area of aesthetics, I don't believe that it has a significant affect on how the overall story is perceived, but can be used with other elements to create a more entertaining animation.
