depending on their straightness, jaggedness, and curvature.
- Vocabulary: Lightness, darkness,
overlapping, spaces, shapes, characteristics, straightness, jaggedness,
curvature
- Apply different degrees of line thickness
to create
lightness or darkness in a 2 D piece of art.
- Create shapes between lines by experimenting
with overlapping.
- Identify the characteristics of line within a
piece of art.
