Here are six outstanding art lessons on geometry, line, shape and form, light and shadow, line and pattern, and tessellation for you. Each activity is well-worth implementing with your art students. These lessons would be especially good for a regular teacher who is looking for art lessons for his/her class. Each one is easy to follow, and the results are fabulous. The project on light and shadow is especially enlightening.
