Lines divide a ground into shapes. Immediately after the viewer percieves the lines in your work, their focus will shift to how these lines control or organize the unfilled area around them. For a unified design, you have to make the unfilled areas as purposeful as the marks.

1. Using straight horizontal and vertical lines, divide the page into a design that emphasizes line but develops interest in how the space is subdivided
2. Do the same with diagonal lines
3. Again with only curved lines
4. Now use one horizontal, one vertical, one diagonal, and one curved line

Supplies: cut paper on paper

This is not an example of a completed homework assignment. It is a sample of a practical application for the lesson.
