For this project, the first graders reviewed the various lines we had previously talked about: vertical, horizontal, diagonal and spiral lines. We then focused on the spiral line alone and drew a large snail. The trick was to make the shell large enough to draw different patterns inside. This was a great review on pattern with not only shapes and lines, but with colors too. The entire snail was outlined in Sharpie, colored in using patterns and then the background had lots of spirals colored in. We used one color watercolor to paint over the entire paper.
