Creating Line ● Line can be ORGANIC or
GEOMETRIC● Straight or Curved● Add strength by twisting
wires together● Make clean lines by
stabilizing your hand that’s holding the wire.
Building Form Form is three-dimensional and encloses volume; includes height, width AND depth (as in a cube, a sphere, a pyramid, or a cylinder). Form may also be free flowing. *Below form is build by wrapping wire around a pencil.
