Drawing and Line Weight
DRILL
Answer in a complete sentence:
A general sketching and technical drawing rule is to begin ALL lines as very thin lines. Why would this be?
During the drill, either collect the grid copying assignment or check it. I suggest collecting it so that you can take a look in detail and provide appropriate feedback.
If the drill says “write in a complete sentence,” students should not write the question. If the drill does not say to write in a complete sentence, students should write the questions too.
Answer – in case you make mistakes, to set your drawing up well, to really determine the best location for lines.

ALL LINES should begin as Construction lines.

U1-L4
DRAWING
Three line weights in this class:
Light: very thin, not noticeable from 2’
Medium: thin, noticeable from 2’
Heavy: thick, obvious from 2’
Complete Exercise 2 – draw thin, medium, and heavy lines. ALL LINES BEGIN AS CONSTRUCTION LINES!
These three lineweights are important and students should know them. The thin lines should be BARELY visible – you should have to get close to the paper to see them.
