Notes: In many primary schools, 'Taking A Line For A Walk', is a technique used by teachers to encourage spontaneous aimless line drawing to which colour to the spaces can later be added. Here are some links regarding this technique:

1. Artist Paul Klee described drawing as "taking a line for a walk".
