The instructor reviews the following new terms with children and points out each example in the top image:
- Unaccented Line: A continuous line of uniform thickness - light, medium, and heavy.
- Graded Line: A line varying in thickness, from light to heavy or heavy to light.
- Emphasized Line: A main line emphasized with additional, shorter, parallels lines.
- Broken Line: A non-continuous line used to indicate a broken surface, such as rough ground or the bark of tree trunks.
Children complete the following drill work, using graded lines that vary in thickness from light to heavy:
- Draw the right pier of the bridge.
