Elements of Art Lessons Line Art Projects Element of Art Line Art Worksheets

This Line Art Unit teaches the Element of Art: Line through a video presentation, a PDF slide deck, informational handouts, a mini art challenge, an art history lesson on Edvard Munch and 3 full step-by-step art project tutorials. It is a complete, done-for-you unit of 110+ pages.

WHAT TEACHERS ARE SAYING

★★★★ “I am not an art teacher so when I found out that I was going to be teaching a period of art this year, I panicked. Thank goodness I found these lesson plans...they were a lifesaver. They are incredibly easy for a none artistic person to understand and implement! And my students loved the projects!” Jessica M.
