For this project, students were all given a blank piece of paper and told to draw a line in a certain direction or shape.
Next students were told to pass their drawing to the person next to them, and then to make a drawing from then line started by their classmate.
Lastly, students were instructed to outline their drawings with a permanent marker and to color it however they wanted. Teachers then told students to write a story about their drawing, telling what they made from the original line and why they drew the objects that they did.
This is a great project to be used for cooperation activities, as well as encouraging students to use their imagination to create a work of art.
Extension Art Activity: Use this with a Math lesson, especially for problems involving geometric shapes to help students be able to visualize not only the many different lines used in math, but also to show them how math is connected to many real world examples. Have students use different mathematical lines to make different drawings. Also, have students write a short paragraph about which mathematical lines that they chose to use and why, and have students label their line on the drawing with the correct math term.
