Straight
Parallel
Perpendicular
Organic
Demonstrate Examples of Each type of line.

9. Directions
Place your handout upside-down and cover all of it up but on inch.
Do not look a head, it is better to not know! Only look at the lines and draw what you see and the same size.
If you talk to yourself, only talk about your types and directions of line. ANY other talking will break your concentration.

10. Directions
When the drawing becomes a fascinating puzzle, you are truly focused and engaged.
Continue to only view one inch at a time as to not overwhelm your self with lines!
Remember, everything you need to know is right in front of you, look no where else!

12. Answers to conclusions?
Slow down.
