Materials:

  • Paper

Preparation:

None required


What we did:

  • We made different kinds of lines: straight, curved, wavy, zig-zag, bumpy, smooth, scratchy, messy, dotted, dashed
  • We made thick and thin lines
  • We made thick lines four ways: with a thick marker, with multiple thin lines next to each other, with a thin marker zig-zagging back and forth, and with a thin marker scribbling little loops.
  • We drew striped T-shirts and skirts
  • We drew borders and frames using our different kinds of lines.
  • We learned how to make an asterisk star.
  • We learned how to make a Happy Birthday card with a border.

Homework:

Paste Ari’s happy birthday card drawing onto card stock to make it into a real card.
