Grade 1 Lines that Wiggle

This is a favorite book of mine to introduce students to the element of art, LINE. The book's silly illustrations get them to notice lines in every day life and how to describe them. 

After reading the book to the first graders they completed a worksheet with nine different lines to practice. 

  

Using the worksheet to remember the different lines, students used sharpie on some large drawing paper to practice further. Later, they cut out some black frames and chose a section they thought was most interesting. Only what was in the frame was then colored in. Here are some examples!
