Create a landscape using only slanting lines. Describe the scene.

medium

Answer: A landscape with mountains can be drawn using multiple slanting lines meeting at peaks. The scene might include a setting sun in the background and a slanting line path leading to the mountains.

Explain how you can create a spiral using a curved line.

medium

Answer: Start by drawing a small circle and gradually increase the radius with each rotation around the center, maintaining equal distance between the lines.

How many standing lines would it take to draw a square? Why?

easy

Answer: It takes 2 standing (vertical) lines to draw a square, because it is complemented by 2 sleeping (horizontal) lines, making a full square with 4 sides.

Describe how to differentiate between a slanting and a straight line in real life.

hard

Answer: A straight line is parallel to either horizontal or vertical orientation, whereas a slanting line inclines or declines in relation to the ground.
