Here's what's visible:

This is an image of a hand-drawn sketch on a piece of paper, likely a concept or an idea for a line drawing.

The sketch features two separate boxes. The box on the left contains an arrangement of lines, including a horizontal line, angled lines, and two overlapping diagonal lines forming an "X" shape. The box on the right shows a simple horizontal line.

Written in blue ink (likely with a ballpoint pen), the paper has some text:

  • On the left side, vertically aligned: "How to make a 'Line Drawing' 7525".
  • At the top: "Drawing is a configuration rs 2 Colors."
  • Below that: "It has to have maximum Visual impact in the same way that a Drawing in 3 or more Colors must have."
  • Beneath the boxes: "To that, it From duo A"
  • On the right side, vertically: "Since 'Line' is an Area its Width and Position is decided as Given like all other Area Figures".

The text appears to be a set of notes, outlining some thoughts about creating a line drawing with the limitation of using only two colors. The author seems to be exploring how to achieve maximum visual impact even with limited color choices, comparing it to drawings with more colors. The note about "Area" and "Position" suggests considerations of form and spatial arrangement.

The image shows a handwritten note on a piece of paper. The writing is in blue ink and appears to be about drawing or design principles, particularly focusing on the concept of a "line poem." The main text reads:

"Drawing is a configuration
is 2 Colors
It has to have maximum

To the right of the sketches, there is additional handwritten text that discusses the concept of a "line" in an area, mentioning its width and position, and how it is decided by the given area. The note concludes with a question or statement that reads, "To make a line poem," and the rest of the text is cut off. The overall theme seems to be exploring the principles of line and form in design.
