Lines are everywhere. You can see lines in the grain of a piece of wood or in the cracks on a sidewalk.
In art, Line is an element of art that is the path of a moving point through space.
Lines are used to:
-
Create boundaries between shapes
-
Create boundaries between colors, textures or values
-
Lead the eye from one space to another
-
Create textures
-
Suggest emotional qualities

Grid drawing is a very old technique of transferring images (from sketches to a full size canvas or fresco, etc...)
Always make sure that the number of squares on the original picture and your working area are exactly the same (even if the size of the squares are bigger on the paper). This is because no matter how many times bigger (or smaller) you make the drawing, the proportions and dimensions can only stay the same if the number of boxes (squares) matches exactly.
Make sure you follow all steps below.

Shape - Element of Art
Rocks, puddles, flowers, shirts, houses, chairs, and paintings are all shapes and forms.
A Shape is a two dimensional area that is defined in some way. It may have an outline or a boundary around it or you may recognize it by its area.
Shapes are geometric or free form (organic)
Geometric forms are precise shapes that can be described using mathematical formulas (square, rectangle, triangle, circle, hexagon)
Free form shapes are irregular and uneven shapes. They often occur in nature. We can also call them organic; a leaf, a puddle.
