Companion summary

Have you ever watched lightning flash across the sky and seen that sharp, pointy path it makes? Zig-zag lines are all around us — on mountain tops, on fish scales, and even on your favourite jumper. A fun fact: artists use zig-zag lines to make pictures feel exciting and full of energy. When you finish drawing your zig-zags, try making them big and bold, then tiny and close together, and see how different they feel.

Look at the picture. See the pointy line? It goes up, then down, then up! That is a zig-zag.
