Drawing materials: pencil, ink, crayon, and paper.
Method:
Different line types produce different expressive effects–straight lines are rigid, diagonal lines are exciting, vertical lines are dignified, horizontal lines are quiet and restful. Combinations of these lines can express complex feelings.
Create several abstract line patterns expressing the qualities (not things) felt in selected nouns, adjectives, and verbs. The expression should lie not in the description of objects but within the nature of the lines themselves.
