"Write something that makes a shape on the page...i.e: a circle, a heart, a square, etc."

______________________________________

It is all in a line or two. A straight line is a path to infinity, set it on a curved start and sooner or later you might be back where you started forming circle. And in the event you miss the beginning, then you are on a spiral, though whether an upward one or a downward one is yet to be seen

Draw a slant line and curve it towards the left and a little to the down; then another line, from the same start point, slanting in in the opposite direction and curve it to the right and down - where they meet it is your heart; if they do not is it a broken heart?

One straight horizontal line to the right, sharp ninety degree up, then sharp ninety degree turn straight to the left and finally a sharp ninety degree straight down, when they meet you have a quadrilateral - either a square of a rectangle.

Let us start again, one straight horizontal line to the right, slant in up to the left and turn and slant in down to the right, you end up with a triangle.

Curved lines are fun too, keep varying the directions and you could end up with a variety of closed or open shapes; arches, crescents, ovals, lens, ellipses, indalos and lunes.

And if the lines do not meet, you have art or scribbles, depends on what you see, after all beauty is in the eyes of the beholder. See the picture below, the kid is so cute the scribbles could be art.

It reminds me of how my cuddle monster does the same with his colour pens; I have got him a book so that I can preserve his art work
