Wild Hair Day by Grade 5
This is always a fun and relaxing project that everyone seems to have success with! We worked on these the day before Spring break, which by the way couldn't come quick enough. We've been talking and using line a lot lately and have been assigning meaning to different types of lines. This was a nice way to culminate the unit. The students began by using pencil to draw the face and the variety of lines. The instructions were to try and use at least six different types of line and to repeat each line several times. I suggested they try and draw the lines in various directions to create interest. Once the pencil drawings were finished the students went over the lines with black Sharpies. Liquid watercolor paint added the final touch. I think they did a great job. What do you think?

I've done the black and white version, but the water colors and a whole new element of fun.

Thanks Barbara. Boy this lesson has been around for awhile. I too have done it in black and white with wonderful results. But what a nice change color adds. Glad you commented.
