THE PLAN
5 sessions; 50 minutes per session

Students learn that… the line is the most basic form of art and is used every time we write our name, phone number or draw.
The students learn how to… create an image using only line and pattern, starting with a “scribble line” and filling it in with patterns using lines and shapes.
The students learn to (or to be)… more aware of how the line is used to make even the simplest of images, words, numbers and shapes.

paper, pencil, eraser, ruler, markers, colored pencils, crayons.

Start students with introducing them to the idea that everything is made up of lines (even circles) show on board how that is true. Discuss what a line is and what are some of the different types of line (scribble, straight, curved, zigzag, looped, spiral, crossed over, etc.). Also show them what a “controlled scribble” is and how it will be used in the project.
