Class began with a slide lecture on the characteristics and types of line. The first drawing was a line inventory. Students explored the qualities and differences of four different types of lines. Belen's drawing illustrates straight, curving, zig-zag and looping lines. By expanding and zooming in on the lines as she moves down the columns, the negative space is diminished increasing the tension and its relevance within the composition.

The second drawing was an exercise called Four Lines, Four Times. The objective was to explore the advantages of working with a singular line family as well as a combination of multiple line families. All students used straight, curved and angular lines and a mix of the three together. Notice how the overall weight of the page increases moving down the columns. Although Nancy has clearly addressed three different types of line, the bold, graphic nature of her renderings create a sense of unity across the entire paper. The last column of combinations is especially successful taking advantage of the qualities of each line family to create a very dynamic and compelling shape.
