LINES!
working in elementary art (well, at least in some schools i have worked in) you just never know how familiar students will be with materials or art processes. although i was taught to teacher DBAE (discipline-based arts education) i try to start simply and rely on the elements of art to lay a foundation for my classroom. we almost always start the year off with a line lesson in each grade. it could be as simple as brainstorming/demonstrating lines to kinders to having 5th graders create a contour line drawing of an animal. either way, we start with the basics.

here are a few line lessons i started off with this year. some, i have tried before and some were completely new! after your students get familiar with using pencils, crayons, markers you can slowly introduce other mediums for them to experiment with.
