How can a brick wall be made with line?

Correct answer: With horizontal and short vertical lines

Answer: A, with horizontal and short vertical lines. A brick wall can be suggested by drawing horizontal courses for the long joints and short vertical lines for the joints between neighbouring bricks. The vertical joints are often shifted from one row to the next, but the essential idea is the repeated rectangular arrangement made by horizontal and vertical marks. Option A is correct because these lines create the visible divisions of the bricks. Option B is incorrect because only round lines do not describe the mostly rectangular faces and straight joints of ordinary bricks. Option C is incorrect because some boundaries or joints are needed to separate one brick from another; without them the wall pattern is unclear. Option D is incorrect because a single wavy line does not make the repeated block pattern. The artist should keep the lines reasonably aligned while allowing slight variation so the wall does not look unnaturally mechanical. Line spacing can also suggest perspective: rows may appear narrower in the distance. Memory cue: brick pattern = horizontal courses plus short vertical joints.
