a mark made when a point moves accrossed a surface. 

Types of Lines: Straight, curved, horizontal, zig-zag, dotted etc.

Objective: Students will cut out a black circle and fill it with a variety of line types.

A flat, two-dimensional area that has height and width. Shapes are created when lines connect or when an area is filled in.

Types of Shapes: Geometric & Freeform

Objective: Students will create a random free-form shape. At various points, they will receive a new shape and transform it into a different image or object.

A three-dimensional object that has height, width, and depth. Forms look like they take up space.

Types of Shapes: Geometric & Freeform

Objective: Students will complete two lessons: first, a follow-along “how to draw” activity focused on 3D forms; second, they will use Model Magic to create a small sculpture.

how the light reflects off a surface

Primary Colors: Red, Blue & Yellow

Secondary Colors: Green, Purple, Orange

Objective:Students will complete two lessons: first, a follow-along color wheel activity focused on the 6 main color; second, they will paint their small sculpture.

how light or dark a color or shade is. Artists use value to show light, shadow, and depth.

Value Scale: A value scale shows how light or dark something is, going from white (lightest) to black (darkest) with different shades of gray in between.

Objective:Students will complete a follow-along Value scale and shading worksheet.

The area around, between, and inside objects in an artwork. Space can be positive (objects) or negative (empty areas).

Objective: Students will curate and arrange different artworks to create mini museums, focusing on spatial balance, organization, and an introduction to how museums display and present artwork.

How something feels or looks like it might feel. Texture can be real (you can feel it) or implied (it only looks textured).

Types of textures: Smooth, scaley, rough, grainy, hairy etc.

Objectives: Students will look at the artist Eric Carle and use textured paper to create an animal portrait.

This is a fast-paced group drawing game designed to build collaboration skills and quick thinking. Students will be given a topic to draw and will work on it for 1 minute total. During that time, the paper will be rotated to a new student every 5 seconds, with each student adding to the evolving drawing.

Students will be given an open space on paper along with a drawing prompt. They will have one minute to create a quick “masterpiece” based on the prompt. These fun, fast-paced activities will be used as mini art warm-ups to encourage creativity, quick thinking, and confidence in their artistic choices.
