Note to Pupils:

Lines And Shapes

Lines:
Lines are straight or curved marks that can be used to define shapes, create patterns, or represent boundaries. In art and design, lines can vary in length, thickness, and direction. There are different types of lines, including straight lines (which do not bend) and curved lines (which have a gentle curve).

Shapes:
Shapes are enclosed areas or outlines that are defined by one or more lines. They can be geometric, like circles, squares, and triangles, or organic, having irregular and more natural forms. In basic terms, shapes are the two-dimensional representations of objects and are often categorized based on their characteristics.

Evaluation:

  1. What is a line?
  2. Can you name a type of lines?
  3. Name two shapes you learned about today.
