Talking Points

• Lines are everywhere around us. They can be found in nature, in buildings, and even in our own artwork.
• Lines can be straight, curved, wavy, or zigzag. They can be thick or thin, long or short.
• Straight lines can make things look tall or strong, while curved lines can make things look soft or gentle.
• Artists use different types of lines to create different effects in their artwork.
• Lines can be used to create shapes, objects, or even abstract designs.
• By experimenting with lines, you can create your own unique artwork.
• Remember, there are no right or wrong ways to use lines in art. It's all about expressing yourself and having fun!
