Valentines Day Heart Art Lesson Valentines Art Project Valentines Art Activity

This Valentine's Day Heart Art Lesson teaches the Element of Art: Line as students create a Valentine's Day art piece with pencil crayon and paint. The finished heart frames make a cheerful Valentine's bulletin board display.

The lesson comes with a visual and text step-by-step (each step on its own page with a description), a rubric for marking, a "What Is Line?" handout, and a step-by-step for drawing the heart. A pre-drawn heart template is included for younger students or when you need to adapt the lesson. All of my art lessons are original ideas by Ms Artastic.
