Did you know if you draw something upside down it may be easier for you to draw more accurately? Sometimes when we are drawing an object that we are familiar with, our mind plays tricks on us. It confuses us by not allowing us to differentiate between what we actually see and how we know the object should look. Today we copied some drawings that were done by master artists--but before we copied them, we turned them upside down. Our focus was on the directions of the lines, angles and curves and the relationships between the shapes they created. I think many students were amazed when they turned their drawings right side up.
Line - A line is an identifiable path created by a point moving in space. It is one-dimensional and can vary in width, direction, and length. Lines often define the edges of a form. Lines can be horizontal, vertical, or diagonal, straight or curved, thick or thin. They lead your eye around the composition and can communicate information through their character and direction.
