Line/Shape Critique

All of the images could be characterized as either a line or a shape. They are lines in that they appear to have direction and motion. They are shapes in that they could be seen as being contained, defined images in space.

Lines are uncontained markings that move from one point to another point in space. They can continue infinitely outward from the beginning and ending point. Shapes are contained, stable images in space. Lines convey the sense of motion, whereas shapes convey the sense of stabililty.
