A well-developed art lesson is always great to have around. This lesson on portrait drawing includes a full procedure, modifications, background information on artist Chuck Close, recommended websites, and a few thoughts from the...

Before learning about the coordinate plane and ordered pairs, have kids get used finding locations on the grid. They are given a simple set of coordinates, which they will locate on the grid. A great way to introduce the concept. 

Students create their own copies of Phoenix Birds using a grid system.

How do the computers keep it straight? Using the provided algorithms, class members draw a line and a circle using pixels. They then check the drawings using a straight edge and compass to determine the accuracy of their...

In this graphing worksheet, students graph given ordered pairs on a coordinate plane and connect the dots in consecutive order. Upon completion of the graphing exercise, students will have created a picture on the coordinate plane. They...

The original drawing is eight units — how big is the scale drawing? Classmates determine the scale percent between a scale drawing and an object to calculate the length of a portion of the object. They use the percent equation to find...

In this placing items on a grid worksheet, students draw specified pictures on a coordinate plane in an instructed location. All locations are identified by an ordered pair. This one-page worksheet contains 20 problems.

In this play battleship with coordinates on a grid worksheet, students follow directions to mark their ships on their map, then guess where their opponent's ships are on the grid.

Students examine how grids are created and used to locate positions of objects or features on a map.

This is a self-assessment for use with a grid drawing project, but could be modified to fit any number of similar projects. Learners answer each question as a way to reflect and assess their own art work. Learning how to objectively...

How do you find the area of an irregular shape? Class members calculate the area of an irregular shape by finding the area of a random sampling of the shape. Individuals then utilize a confidence interval to improve accuracy and use a...

Get into springtime with a festive practice sheet designed to test scholars' knowledge of grids. Learners locate items such as watering cans, snails, and flowers following the x and y-axis. Worksheet themes include Earth Day, gardening,...

Design your dream classroom. The lesson plan contains an exercise to have teams create a scale drawing of their dream classroom. Pairs take the measurements of their classroom and furniture and create a scale factor for them. To finish...

In this plotting worksheet, students plot given ordered pairs on a coordinate plane. After plotting each ordered pair, students connect line segments in consecutive order. Upon completion of the graphing exercise, students will have...

How different can 3-D and 2-D really be? An engineering resource provides an explanation about the importance of two-dimensional technical drawings. Several samples show how to create multi-view drawings from pictorials and...
