A liquid discharge apparatus includes: movable head having a nozzle line with nozzles arranged in a predetermined direction; and a control unit that performs a first liquid discharge process and a second liquid discharge process, which sequentially form dots on a medium by intermittently discharging liquid from the nozzles while moving the head and maintaining the inclusion of a normal component perpendicular to the predetermined direction in the moving direction of the head and which form dots on the medium such that a dot formation position in the perpendicular direction of the dots formed in the second liquid discharge process is positioned between dot formation positions in the perpendicular direction of the dots formed continuously in the first liquid discharge process.
