— Exodus 35:31-32 (WEB)God gives creativity and artistic ability as a special gift, just like the children are learning to create art with lines
Review the line types we've learned this week - straight, curved, zigzag, and wavy. Remind students how each line can tell a different story.
Today, we'll use ALL the lines we've learned to create a special artwork that tells a story about God's beautiful world.
Create a complete picture using ALL line types learned this week
