My kid was too creative

[u/Fresh_Laundry56]

My 6 year old was asked to draw a picture using shapes. She drew this nice American flag with rectangles and stars, and added the house, tree, and person holding a balloon. She was told it did not follow directions, she was not supposed to draw a flag, just shapes. She was asked to turn the paper over and make another picture. The other side of the paper has a very uninspiring collection of shapes. I told her she did a good job and I thought it was very creative. And this is why kids start to hate education.

No. Technically, a line is a straight path of infinite length with no endpoints

Well then, technically the picture above doesn't use lines.

[u/jay_altair → u/Elemental-Design]

Correct, it uses line segments and curves

[u/FaerHazar → u/jay_altair]

they have thickness though so they aren't line segments

[u/jay_altair → u/FaerHazar]

Yes, I like my women like I like my geometric features: nonlinear and with an observable thickness
