These easy to use art lessons have a strong focus on the Elements of Art, a great way to build essential student knowledge and skill, in this subject area.
Each lesson focus in this series will include just the right amount of art theory, introduce a famous artist, artwork or art theme that relates to the focus, and then guide you through creating an artwork that has been tested and crafted to suit this age group of 7, 8 and 9yr olds.
This lesson includes choice options for differentiation, while keeping the skills taught consistent across the class, to save your sanity.
❤️ Take the guesswork out of teaching art,
❤️ Avoid endless hours of research,
❤️ Avoid the epic fails that result from not having the time to test the lesson or media yourself before teaching it.
I’ve done it all for you and used this lesson with my own students, as young as 2nd grade.
❤️ Why should you trust my lessons?
I have worked as a gen. ed. classroom teacher for many years and currently practise as a Visual Art and Digital Media specialist educator, teaching students from ages 4-12, at a primary school. I do this every day, just like you!
❤️ How will this resource help busy classroom teachers, who are nervous about teaching art?
No worries - I’ve got you covered.

❤️ So what is special about this resource?
What is LINE with Piet Mondrian is NOT a superficial art or craft option. As a specialist in this field, I write lessons that encourage deeper, cross-curricular learning and make meaningful connections to other subject areas. This IS:
- a collage tutorial that uses lines - horizontal, vertical, perpendicular and parallel, plus measurement (Math)
- teaches about connection to other element - shape and color/colour
- teaches about the concept of space - positive and negative
- teaches about the concept of focal point
- makes link to art history and famous artist - De Stijl and Piet Mondrian
- makes cross-curricular links to expressing ideas (How We Express Ourselves) and art movement timelines (Where We Are in Place & Time).
- Fine motor skill improvement - measuring, cutting, gluing, aligning
Students can express their unique ideas through personal choices and modifications (suggestions offered in this guide), while working through the guided project. Pause the PDF presentation in places to discuss next steps with students, check understanding and explore potential student responses or modifications, bringing personal creative ideas to the tutorial. This addresses the Viewing & Responding to artwork objectives in a purposeful way.
This is a new series so please see what teachers, who have used one of my other LINE lesson plans - Element of LINE PETS inspired by Laurel Burch art lesson K - 2nd grade - say:
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ "My students and I loved this project. It was something different from what we have done in the past and they really enjoyed it. We talked about lines and different uses for them and we made our favorite pets with lines."
View the Previews above, then add to cart and smile, knowing you have just saved yourself heaps of time and effort!
