This week my students are learning all about lines in art - straight, curvy, and zigzag. They are also learning about the directions all lines can travel - vertical, horizontal, and diagonal. Here is just a sampling of the activities the kids are participating in this week:  line leaves, leaf drawings, paper line collages, line contrast collages, cutting edge portaits, line initials, and comic book lines.
