Look at this artwork, Panel, by Ewe. Think of all the different types of lines: straight, curved, broken, wavy, thick, thin. How many different types of lines can you find? Where?

Do the same with this artwork, Blue at Noon, by Adolph Gottlieb. Think of all the different types of lines: straight, curved, broken, wavy, thick, thin. How many different types of lines can you find? Where?

One more time…use this piece of artwork, “El” Second and Third Avenue Lines; Bowery and Division Street, Manhattan, by Berenice Abbott. It is the picture in the top right with the couple of people standing in the shadow under the tracks above. Think of all the different types of lines: straight, curved, broken, wavy, thick, thin. How many different types of lines can you find? Where?
