This research project is a visual research based on studio practice, aiming to explore and analyze the role of expressive lines in expressing the artist's self-emotions. To research how expressive lines are transformed into the artist's emotional feelings and transformed into various ways on the canvas. The study relied on David Hockney’s Research Framework as a guide for successful visual analysis. There are three main stages in concrete visual research. 1.Visual Collection. The collection of visual data was completed through on-site observation of artists' works (notes, mobile phone records, camera records, drawing records) and the purchase of albums and books. 2.Create a Visual Image Database. Organize all the data obtained through visual observation and create "database 1". And based on the research theme, research questions and research objectives, "Database 2" was created on the basis of "Database 1". 3. Visual Analysis. According to the research objectives, the most typical visual material samples in the "Artist's works" folder were extracted and systematically analyzed. Use pictures to think about research questions, and use the medium of painting to visualize the analytical details of the works of five artists: Edvard Munch, Wassily Kandinsky, Jackson Pollock, Willem de Kooning, and Franz Kline. Reference to the artist's work evokes and re-emphasizes the importance of the concept of the role of expressive line in expressing the painter's emotions. The visual analysis results show that expressive lines can meet the various needs of artists to convey their emotions to the audience. This research project contributes to the field of fine art and other art and design creative industries through visual analysis of the drawing methods and technical characteristics of various expressive lines in artists' works.
