Learn the skill

An adult can read the clues aloud. A straight line does not bend, a curved line bends smoothly, and a zigzag changes direction at corners. These are ways to make marks, not a rule for the best drawing.

Worked example

A smooth bending path is curved. A path with sharp back-and-forth corners is zigzag.

Three labeled line samples: a straight segment without bends, a smooth curved arc, and a zigzag with sharp corners. The labels remain useful without color.

Make It Your Own

Optional theme: a surprising delivery. Draw a place using one straight, one curved and one zigzag line. Point to each kind or ask an adult to write your labels. You may draw, write or tell your idea. Use invented characters and places; no personal information or upload is needed. This activity is not scored.

Reflect on your choices

  • Identify three different line kinds in your drawing.
  • Explain one intentional choice and one possible alternative.
  • There is no required style or single correct creative response.
