Art elements 2: Line

One of the seven elements of art is line.

Today, we’ve got some fun resources that will help you to understand how line works in art, and the different types (or families) of lines that you can use.

HOW LINES WORK IN ART

Follow this link for an explanation of the many different ways line works in art, plus a fun and easy line art/craft project at the bottom of the page:

HOW LINES CONVEY MOTION, EMOTION, AND MORE

This page will be good for older students, because it demonstrates the more subtle uses of line in art: to convey motion, emotion, and much more.

ART LESSONS FOR KIDS —

This page is definitely one of my favorites. It has some very creative art projects, some targeted at children as young as first graders. All the projects involve the creative and colorful use of line.

A SONG ABOUT LINES

And just for fun, here’s a song about lines. It’s a bit on the corny side, but it might help your younger children remember the different kinds of lines they can use when they create art.
