height and strength
straight lines parallel to the horizon that move from left to right

Curved Lines
They can be simply wavy or spiral
Curved Lines
Curved Lines conveys:
feelings of comfort and ease, as well as sensual quality as they remind us of the human body
KINDS OF STROKES (BRUSH STROKES)
Glazing Brush Stroke Technique
Smooth Paint Brush Stroke
Flowing Pain Stroke
Parallel Pain Brush Stroke
Scumbling Brush Technique
Vertical Pain Brush Stroke
Semicircular Paint Brush Strokes
a technique that requires layering of more than one color
Glazing Brush Stroke Technique
the effect that is achieved with glazing reveals multiple levels of color which lend to a more _____ effect than strokes using single colors
dynamic
These can be horizontal, vertical or angled and are used to portray hard or solid surfaces with straight lines such as floors and buildings
Smooth Paint Brush Stroke
To portray water, hair, the lines of hills or other objects with long, flowing lines, use a round brush with paint that is thinned either with water or paint medium. Give brushstrokes a slight wave for a flowing look.
Flowing Pain Stroke
These can form arcs, straight lines and diagonal lines and are useful for portraying details like animal fur. Vary stroke lengths to achieve a realistic effect.
Parallel Pain Brush Stroke
This will result in an uneven, jagged effect with broken lines to suggest texture. It also entails layering colors.
Scumbling Brush Technique
Use quick upward or downward motions to portray surfaces such as grass or fringe detail.
Vertical Pain Brush Stroke
These are good for skies and rounded organic forms.
Using a flat brush or shader, dab the paint in semicircles. For a more textured look, use more paint; for a smoother effect, use less.
Semicircular Paint Brush Strokes
STAGES OF EMERGENT WRITING
Drawing and Imitative Writing
Copying Words
Drawing and String of Letters
Early Phonetic Writing
Phonetic Writing
Conventional / Some Phonetic Writing
The child writes a message or shares ideas with others through drawings and imitative writing. Scribbling and random letters are often considered to be an imitation of “grown-up” writing.
Drawing and Imitative Writing
The child copies words from handy resources like books, posters, and word walls. The writer may or may not be aware of the meaning of the words.
Copying Words
The child writes with random letters but has a definite message to convey. The letters often have no relationship to conventional letter sounds or spelling.
Drawing and String of Letters
The child writes connected letters (mostly consonants) to represent words. Sometimes the sound of the letter itself is used for a word; for example, “r” is the word are.
Early Phonetic Writing
The child writes words using letters to represent each sound that is heard. Consonants and vowels are used. Some punctuation may also be used.
Phonetic Writing
The child increasingly writes with conventional spellings and structures. Formation of letters is also more conventional.
