Part 15:
Create one 10 x 10 nal line design that
combines ver2cal, horizontal, diagonal,
straight, curved, thick, thin and broken
elements. You may create a line design
inspired by one or more of your smaller
studies.

Be aware of the
propor2ons of the
picture plane when
crea2ng your
composi2ons. You
can visually divide
your picture planes
into thirds, based on
the orienta2on of
your lines (ver2cal or
horizontal) as a
means of organizing
the space. Showing
the grid in Illustrator
will also help divide
up the picture plane.
