What defines a LINE? A line connects two points and can go on
forever. It is made by a pointed tool such as a pen, crayon, marker, paint brush, etc.
It can create shapes, texture, and variety in art depending on how it is used.
It can also create a sense of depth depending on how thick or thin you make them.

How can a simple line create a sense of depth?
LINES have different thicknesses that artists call their weight. Thick lines are heavy and thin line are light.
-Heavily Weighted Lines = objects coming forward.
-Lightly Weighted Lines = object receding (going back).
