My line texture labFoundation Visual Arts · T2 W13–14 · Interactive activity

Try short or long lines, change their direction, and leave small or wide gaps. Save two ideas and say which you would use in your own picture.

Source: an invented plain paper card. Its line marks are your art choices. These marks do not show how a real surface feels or whether a plant changed. Closing or reloading clears the ideas; nothing is sent.
