Title - Introduction to Hatching and Cross-Hatching
By - Lesley Fentiman
Primary Subject - Art
Secondary Subjects - Math
Grade Level - 4-6
Note:
Children create an artwork in this lesson using straight lines. They make the artwork using a ruler, an HB graphite pencil, and colored pencils or markers.
Outcomes and Objectives:
After completion of activities, children will be able to:
- draw straight lines in any direction
- recognize horizontal, vertical and diagonal lines
- recognize the difference between hatching and shading
- recognize the difference between hatching and cross-hatching
- recognize the importance of line in an artwork
- recognize the importance of color in an artwork
Equipment: - Art/Cartridge paper
- HB pencil
- a selection of colored pencils
- a selection of marker pens
Procedure:
- Give children a piece of art/cartridge paper and ask them to fill the paper by drawing horizontal, vertical and diagonal lines. The lines can intersect. A picture or pattern can be made. When the lines have been draw in HB pencil, then ask the children to make the lines colored in the following way:
| __ | HB pencil or black |
| | | colored |
| / | HB or black |
| \ | colored |
- This is to give the younger children some structure. The lesson can also be carried out using own choice of colors.
- If lines have intersected to form a recognizable shape, such as square, diamond or triangle,
then any shading must be done as lines (hatching - lines one way or cross-hatching - lines in opposite directions.)
Conclusion: Display artworks.
- Some interesting, imaginative artworks can be achieved.
- Lesson can also be completed with a computer drawing program.
