Line Design

The purpose of this lesson is to experiment with a variety of different style lines to make a design.

1. On a 8.5" x 11" paper, using a pencil and ruler, create a 1/4" boarder around the entire page.


2. Divide the space on the page into a MINIMUM of 10 section. This is where you have an opportunity to be creative (The more creativity you use, the better the results).


3. Fill each of the 10 sections with line designs.


4. After you have filled up all the space with lines, go over all the lines with a thin black sharpie marker. This will give you an opportunity to adjust any areas of the design you may not be happy with.
   NOTE: DO NOT TRACE OVER YOUR ORIGINAL 10 SECTION LINES WITH THE BLACK SHARPIE MARKER!! ONLY TRACE THE LINES INSIDE EACH SECTION.


5. Once you have everything outlined, erase all visible pencil lines.

Requirements:

• The lines in the sections that are next to each other must be going in a different direction.
• Vary the lines that you use.
• All lines should stay parallel.
• Retrace pencil lines with black sharpie and erase any visible pencil marks.
