Cardboard Printing as Line Review

Since I taught in multiple buildings, my set-up for this project varied. Having a box or tray to put the cardboard and paint into worked the best. 
Picture
I had no access to boxes or trays in this room so I just put large pieces of manilla paper down for them to set the wet cardboard on.
Picture
These blue trays were gifted from someone working in a hospital. They said they were food trays that could not be reused. We can use them!!

Tagboard allows for curved lines

Tempera cakes are easy to use and give great results.

My students always loved oil pastels. This is a great lesson to being to teach them how to use them.
This is a fun, get your hands dirty, project for 1st Grade to continue to learn about lines and practice making them. It's also a great way to show students how we can use things around us to make marks that turn into art. Recycled items can play a part in our art making. 

For this project, you will want to gather some different cardboard pieces. Thicker corrugated cardboard is great for making both straight, thick lines and bumpy lines if you peel off one side of the cardboard. Cut these in a variety of sizes. Cut up some thinner strips of tagboard so students can create curved lines along with the straight ones. Cardboard tubes bring circles into the mix. 







Day 1 of a 2-Class project - 
print the lines!

Lids from copy paper boxes are treasures for art teachers. I was caught several times cutting the bands off of the copy boxes and stealing all the lids.

Day 2 - Adding color!

Color can be added in a variety of ways. Any dry or wet medium could be used. You could even allow students to choose from different ones. This would be a great way to bring choice into the lesson. 
Picture
Let students decide on color or begin to teach about certain color groups if you are short on time and need to move into color theory.
Picture
Watercolor is another great option.
