to draw the following lines:
Vertical, Horizontal, Diagonal,
 Curved and Zigzag, using the
provided materials.
Station 2: Painting Station with Brushes
and Paint.

C. Discussion

The teacher corrects misconceptions from

the precious activity and explains vague

Line: A line is a straight or curved

continuous mark made on a surface by a
moving point. Lines can be used to create

5. Curved Line
 A line that bends or curves
gradually without sharp angles.

It contrasts with the straight line that has

no curves.
