Goal: Use lines, shapes, and forms to build clear, believable images.

Key ideas

• A line can show direction, movement, energy, or an edge.
• A shape is flat and two-dimensional, such as a circle, square, or silhouette.
• A form appears three-dimensional, such as a sphere, cube, or cylinder.
• Complex objects become easier to draw when you break them into simple forms.

Look closely

Choose an object near you. Ask:

• Which simple shapes can I see?
• Which parts overlap?
• Where do straight lines change into curves?
• How could I turn the shapes into solid forms?

Creative challenge

1. Choose an everyday object.
2. Draw it using only circles, rectangles, and triangles.
3. Draw it again using spheres, boxes, and cylinders.
4. Add contour lines to show how the surfaces turn.

Reflect

• Which simple forms helped you most?
• Where does the object feel flat?
