Gesso has been practiced by artists and craftspeople for eras to make boards, canvas, or other exteriors for painting or gilding.

The application of Gesso as a primer to let the paint to adhere enduringly to the surface of the painting. Gesso is very related to white acrylic paint, only thinner. It drains hard, making the surface stiffer. Gesso provides the surface for painting, making the surface slightly textured and ready to accept acrylic paint. Without gesso, the paint would soak into the weave of the canvas.

Aliyah marks a line on her driveway with a piece of chalk and another line 50ft away Then she stands with both feet at the line

Mariulka [41]

Answer:

Speed

Explanation:

Aliyah must have been trying to find her speed.

The speed is a measure of how fast an object or a body is and it is calculated by finding the ratio of distance with time. Mathematically,

speed = $\frac{distance}{time}$ with a unit of m/s.

<em>Hence, with the distance measured on the ground and Aliyah trying to find the time it will take her to cover the distance while running, she must have been trying to find how fast she can run, that is, speed. </em>
