else do you see?)

have one) while it is sitting still or sleeping

• No pet…how about sketch a picture of your sibling or parent

• Need something that sits still…set up objects in your room

(toys, shoes, cups, even a crumpled pair of socks will make a

the elements of design in pencil. Title your chart using your choice of font,

then draw each element in a creative way. For example, you could use large

bubble letters for the word “Line” and then draw every kind of line you can

think of inside the letters. Think of a unique way to represent each element.

a unique design – LOOK around your home for different ideas – BE

CREATIVE! Outline everything in a dark colored color pencil or marker, then
