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.

Directions
Watch this video to learn how to make the "grid tool" and measure the boxes correctly for the grid method
Step 2: Next make a 2 inch grid on your large 8 x 10 inch watercolor paper. When you are done,
there should also be 4 boxes across and 5 boxes down for a total of 20, 2 inch boxes. MAKE SURE
YOU USE LARGER BOXES ON THE BIG PAPER (2 inch boxes) AND SMALLER BOXES ON THE
SMALL IMAGE (1 inch boxes)
Step 3: Label the letters (A,B,C,etc) on the top and numbers (1,2,3,etc.) on the side.
Step 1: Using a ruler, make a 1 inch grid on the smaller 4 x 5 inch image. When
you are done, there should be 4 boxes across and 5 boxes down for a total of 20, 1 inch boxes.
