01 / UNDERSTAND

Here is what is happening.

Artists use straight, curved, broken and wavy lines. A line can suggest movement or become the edge of a shape. People may imagine different things from the same mark. Ask what someone sees rather than insisting that a line has only one meaning.

Pause. Make the idea your own.

Explain one idea to a partner, draw it or write it in your own words. Which part is an observation, an example or a question?

You can use a home language. No need to share personal experiences or finish everything in one sitting.
02 / MAKE IT YOUR OWN

Your little investigation

What you need

Paper and a pencil, or a partner to talk with. Drawing and speaking are welcome.

  1. Draw four kinds of lines without lifting or pressing too hard.

  2. Turn each line into something: a path, river, ribbon or your own idea.

  3. Invite two interpretations and explain the clues in your drawing.

03 / CHECK YOUR UNDERSTANDING
