Line (defined) - a continuous mark made on a surface by a moving point. Edge - a type of line created by the border of a shape or a color

Explore Lines at the Artist Toolkit - once there, click Find to See additional examples Also look at Edge & Outline - once there, click Find to See additional examples

For Today's Sketch (Aug 15) - List the 5 Characteristics of line found on this page and then draw at least one from each characteristic (minimum of 5 drawings)

We would like to put some examples of different types of lines here. The students will be drawing some different types of lines, scanning them, then uploading the files so the examples of lines can be published here.
