The Thin Red Line Soundtrack

By using the same shape – a Valentine heart – in elementary art lesson plans to teach the seven elements of art, an art teacher can focus the attention of elementary students on similarities and differences between each element. Introduce and define each element, then have elementary students complete a quick art activity to gain experience with using that art element to create art.

In this lesson, teachers teach the art element line and the art element shape. Students then gain experience with using these art elements by creating artworks in two Valentine's Day art activities.

How to Teach Art Element Line with Valentine Hearts

Draw a straight line on the board and discuss how a line is formed by the path a dot takes as it moves through space. Invite students to come to the board to brainstorm and draw different kinds of lines. For example, lines can be thick or thin, curvy or straight, solid or broken/dotted, zigzagged, or scalloped.
