Chapter 1
Making Lines and Marks
Why Marks Are Fun
A crayon can make a tiny dot, a long road, or a twisty scribble. Your hand can move up, down, around, and across the page.
Marks help you show ideas before you can draw a picture. Some lines can be as wiggly as a worm! Try a soft grip, like holding a small bird. Hold the crayon gently so your fingers do not feel tired.
Your Turn: Dot, Stroke, and Scribble
You need paper, three crayons, and about 10 minutes. First, watch this quick example: make five dots, then three straight strokes, then one big scribble. A stroke is one line made by moving your crayon.
1. Choose a crayon and make five dots in a row. 2. Choose a new color. Draw three strokes from the top of the paper to the bottom. 3. Choose another color. Make one round scribble. Keep your crayon moving. 4. Add a zigzag line beside your scribble, like a little mountain road. 5. Point to your favorite mark and draw a circle around it.
Great job if you made five dots, three strokes, one scribble, and one zigzag! If your marks look different, that is fine. Every hand makes its own kind of line.
Make Your Marks Change
Use two colors for each mark. Make rainbow dots, striped strokes, and a two-color scribble.
Try the same marks faster. Count, “One, two, three!” as your crayon moves.
Draw beside a friend or grown-up. Copy one mark, then make a new mark for your partner to copy.
Check and Smile
Circle yes or no:
• Did you make five dots? Yes / No - Did you draw three strokes? Yes / No - Did your hand hold the crayon gently? Yes / No - Draw a circle around the mark you like best: dot / stroke / scribble / zigzag
Give yourself a ⭐ if you made all four kinds of marks.
Now make one tiny dot and one giant scribble. Which one looks more like a mouse, and which one looks more like a bear?
