Finish the picture…
I can’t even tell you what grade I did this in art class…but I loved it…and so I made my kids do it!and guess what? They loved it too!
You scroll through magazines and find fun pictures…and cut out a piece of it.
glue it on some paper
then you hand your kids a pencil and tell them to finish it..
The eldest did 6 and asked me to find her some more pictures!!!!

I am pleased I came across this! I just finished a project introducing line and pattern to my students. This is a great segue to my next project which parallels this. Inspired by the artist Ben Heine who is known to work in this way, this project bridges the gap!
Thanks!!
For those art teachers out there, here is a list of some great academic language you can introduce with this project!
line, pattern, weight of line, variety, quality of line, continuous, hatched, cross hatched, texture, describing (as in what do you want the line to describe, a hill, a cookie, a face, a tree?)
