I have decided to focus more explicitly on the Elements of Art this year. Our first seven lessons will focus on a specific art element.
For this project we focused on line. We talked about the many different types of lines. Students completed a graphic organizer which helped them practice making lines and exposed them to the vocabulary associated with line (straight, curvy, zig zag, horizontal, etc).
Here are the steps to create this project:
1. Draw initials or a small word in bubble or block letters.
2. Draw several types of lines edge to edge through the letters.
3. Trace the letters and the lines with a sharpie.
4. In the resulting shapes draw different line doodles or patterns. I made a handout of different zentangle designs to spark their imagination.
5. Trace the doodles with a fine point sharpie.
