Drawing Lines

Papa Stone here - As one of my alter egos,  I teach Art. On Wednesday I found a great book about drawing and was inspired to go through our old pen pot and draw lines on a faded yellow sheet of A4. This is a great exercise to get kids thinking about line. Thickness, colour, softness and lightness of touch to produce different effects are all explored in a very simple but effective way. Give it a go, you'll be amazed at the results. It's all gone a bit Bridget Riley.
