Eighth graders demonstrate the steps needed for a compare and contrast essay by writing a paper comparing and contrasting two selected pictures.

Pupils create visual roadmaps and follow them with gesture to create lines. They draw lines with a white crayon on paper and then paint to create a crayon resist.

Students dentify patterns in their everyday environment. They create several types of pattern, including hatching, crosshatching, and stippling and discover that hatching lines may be drawn horizontally, vertically, or diagonally.

Students experiment with different kinds of marking techniques. They read "Where the Wild Things Are" and observe animals for pattern and line. They compare illustrations with Haring's images. They create a symbolic drawing of animal.

Fourth graders explore the definition and properties of parallel lines. This high level lesson has students calculate the slope of the two parallel lines, and draw the lines on a Caretsian coordinate system.

Students examine how archaeologists preserve context of sites through use of rectangular grid or Cartesian coordinate system, and develop sense of distance by pacing off and estimating distances.

Fourth graders discover how to apply the Cartesian coordinate system by figuring out the length and width of their school playground. They determine that pacing is an important tool for the initial mapping of a site. Students conduct a...

Students explore how geometry is used on the composition of artworks by artists from different cultures. This instructional activity is equally suited for a Math or Art classroom at the late-elementary or early-middle school level.
