All-In-One

This project hits it all: Line, shape, and pattern! Simply start by creating a line that goes all over your paper. It will overlap itself, go up and down, make different shapes, and end on the other side of the paper. Then have students identify shapes that they have created. They now have the option of filling in shapes with solid color or a pattern. Encourage plenty of variety and the projects turn out amazing!







Here are a few student examples created by some of my kindergartners

Watercolor Resist Sheep


I just did this project with my 1st graders. I got the idea for this project from this great site. It a great one for teaching how animals can easily be made with simple shapes. Plus the kids thought it was way cool how they could paint right over their sheep and the crayon resisted the watercolor.
