I LOVE LOVE LOVE this project!
Mr. E, an art teacher in Tennessee, is where I stole this idea! I actually found it on Pinterest! We had been studying optical art, and made a radial art project already (which I will post later), and I came across this!! Students start the project by drawing a wavy line across the middle of the paper. They then place 5-8 dots on the line spacing some closer together and others further apart. Starting on the top, connect the dots in a arch, and then connect the ones on the bottom. Continuing doing this until your have connected them all or "stopped" some and continued others through. Click on the Mr. E at the top of this blog to go to the full directions! The end products are AMAZING - just see!

This is something that I would do year after year - the kids LOVED it as much as I did. Once they get going on it - it's quite easy! I even let them do it in SHARPIE - which is usually a NO NO for me! I am QUEEN of pencil - but it was a LOT to have to trace at the end and they worked VERY carefully!!
Happy Monday Night Everyone - I have some MORE great ones to share tomorrow:)
