Below this you will see the list of all my creative prompts so far.
***How many lines can you see in your home? Classroom? What if those lines became something else?
***Name as many different lines as you can e.g. straight, curvy ….
***Invent a board game that uses two parallel lines to show a journey or pathway. Divide up your lines into “stepping stones” so players can move along the path with markers to hold their place, and use dice-throws to go forwards or backwards.
***Check out this tutorial on drawing lines and transforming them. What can you do to transform a line?
***Can you think of a story where a line is a very important clue to solving a mystery?
***What is the opposite of a line? Create an art work based on this idea.
***Draw a straight line. Add another, and another. What can you draw using only straight lines?
***Can you create an art work using paper, string and paint?
***Find a simple biscuit/cookie recipe or ask someone to recommend one. Once you’ve cooked them, let them cool. Make some icing and draw lines and swirls to decorate them.
***Draw a squiggly line. Ask your friend to turn your squiggle into something else.
***Take two pencils and use a rubber band to bond them together. Draw a pathway with those two pencils. Where will it go? What happens when you get there?
***Imagine a line drawn in front of you. You decide to follow it. Where will it lead you? What happens? How do you escape or resolve a problem?
***Google “Follow the Line children’s picture book” and browse some pages from Laura Ljungkvist’s books. Use one of her ideas to create something new of your own.
***Artist Geoff Slater paints “using one continuous line with a beginning and an ending. Although it changes colour, the line never touches, or crosses itself.” What are you inspired to create like this?
***What line from a song can you use for inspiration to create something you would like?
***Your story must start or finish with this line: “ I learnt a lesson that day that I will never forget.”
***Draw some lines on the playground with chalk. What game can you invent?
