IMPORTANT DEFINITIONS ABOUT SYMETRY:
Symmetry: it is a quality of some shape which some of their parts are reflexion of others.
Refection symmetry ( line symmetry) : it is a shape cuality which is formed by two halves facing each other with an axis or fold line in between as is both side were mirror images of each other
Axis symmetry : it's a line which divides a shape into two symmetry halves. Every elements are the same distance from the axis.
Center symmetry: it's a line which divides a shape into two symmetry halves. Every elements are the same same distance from the centre.
VOCABULARY :
DOT :
Dot: it's a smallest and most simple element in art expression. It's first target is to idicate a position since it doesn't follow any direction. It may have different qualities size, shape and color.

TIPES OF LINES:
● Zig-zag or broken lines: they are formed by several fragments of straight lines with differents directions.
● Wavy line: they are formed by several fragments of curved lines.
● Curly lines: they hold more curves than wavy lines and show loops.
●Scribble: chaotic or meaningless lines that are traced randomly, usually in first stages of chilhood or to fill in some area with a particular texture .
●Hatching : it's a way of shading or giving tores to the areas of objects or surfaces with parallel lines
●Dashed ( or dotted ) lines: they are lines which aren't continuous , formed by littel braces or dots.
●Blured: they are very soft or vanished so they are hard to see and opposite to intense and deep.
●Simple lines : those that are formed by only one line.
● Compoite lines: they are lines composed by fragments of several ,straight and curved lines.
EXPRESSIVENESS OF LINES:
●Vertical line expressivenes: the express an asscendent or descendent movement , despeding on how they are used
●Orizantal lines expressiveness: they produce visual feeling of stability and calmness or tranquility , but they can be monotone if they used to much.
●Skew lines expressiveness: they produced unsteadiness and movement feelings . These feelings give inclined lines and sensation of dynamism.
