Lines of all kinds

A quick and fun activity to review the types of lines is to have the students take a square paper and fold it into 16 equal squares. Students then need to draw different types of lines in every square. We brainstorm as a class before they begin. To add another element, students pick a colour scheme for their art: primary, secondary, tertiary, warm, cool or monochromatic colours. This is a great review of colour theory too! This activity works really well with markers (and we all know how much students LOVE using markers :)
