For Grades K – 2 Learning Outcomes: Students will: Learn about line and pattern and how they are related. Be creative and work cooperatively to create artwork. Teacher planning: Time required:30 – 45 minutes Materials/resources: White or black paper, Markers, Chalk, Colored pencils, Chairs Technology Needed: tape/CD player/computer with speakers, music CD or tape Preparation: Teachers should become familiar with the definitions of line and pattern. Line: A mark, created by any medium, that has no depth and defines space. Pattern: Repetition of line, shape, color, rhythm, etc. Be prepared to cite examples to which the children can relate. Activity: Set up chairs back to back, like you would in musical chairs. (If you don’t want to move the chairs, the children can play musical desks) Give each student a large piece of paper and a marker. The paper will stay at the desk or on the seat of the chair, but the students will take the marker with them. If it is possible, each student should have a different color marker or colored pencil. Tell the students to draw lines on the paper without lifting their marker off the paper what the music starts. Please demonstrate for the students. Choose inspirational music for the children to draw to. When the music starts, students should begin to draw lines without picking up their marker/colored pencil. When the music stops, each student should rotate to a different chair or desk and continue to draw lines without lifting the marker. After the students have stopped at all the chair stations or how ever many you choose to do, display their work and talk about pattern. Ask: What kind of patterns can we see? What makes up the patterns? Colors? Different lines styles, i.e., straight, curvy, wiggly. If the students need help, please gently point out some leading observations. Assessment: Students may be evaluated on understanding, implementation and participation of the line and pattern activity.
