Straight and Curved Lines
"Mirroring" strengthens laterality
Developing a sense of proportion
"Invisible" boundaries lead to symmetry
More invisible boundaries
Loops increase the complexity of symmetrical drawings
More complex curves . . . .
. . . . heighten the challenge.
"Running forms" bring straight and curved lines into the horizontal plane
The curved continuity of the previous form is now frozen into straight lines.
A continuum of loops.
Drawing a freehand circle is one of the great challenges of Grade One.
The spiral is another challenging form.
Geometry begins as the child divides a circle "by eye" and constructs a regular polygon.
A more complex division. Two equilateral triangles intersect.
Division of the circle is combined with a continuous loop.
