Moving Line Project "How to make a line move?"... is the question that third grade students were asked. We discussed vertical, horizontal and wavy lines. Vertical lines seem tall and strong. Horizontal lines in a work of art seem placid or calm. While wavy and diagonal lines show movement. Students in third grade drew diagonal lines across their 8 1/2" X 12" paper and colored inside those lines using various colors of markers. Supplies Needed: One sheet of white construction paper, 9"x12"…

The final piece of the 3rd grade Lu Summers quilt project was to have early finishers color their styrofoam plates one more time and contribute it to a a larger 3rd quilt image. The biggest we could go was 20x30 and that accomodated 17 student plates. Three of these so far, with probably enough for one more of equal or slightly smaller size. I had student helpers at recess and lunch recess help me with the printing of these larger stamps. I wish I had larger paper:) These are like the…
