Drawing Fun! Grade 1 CBC Notes in Kenya-Creative Arts Grade 1 Notes in Kenya

What is Drawing? Drawing means making pictures on paper or other surfaces using lines and shapes. You can use different kinds of lines to create your drawings.

Types of Lines:

1. Straight Lines: These are lines that go from one point to another without bending. Imagine the edge of a book.
2. Wavy Lines: These lines move up and down like waves in the sea.
3. Zigzag Lines: These lines go back and forth in sharp angles, like the shape of lightning.
4.  Curved Lines: These lines bend smoothly, like the shape of a rainbow.

Activities to Learn Drawing:

1.  Finding Lines: Look Around: Find different lines in your classroom or at home, like
   the edges of tables (straight) or the pattern on a curtain (wavy).
2. Drawing Lines: Try Different Lines: Practice drawing straight, wavy, zigzag, and curved lines on paper.   Draw Patterns: Use these lines to make fun patterns and designs.
3. Creating Pictures: Use Lines and Shapes: Draw simple pictures using different lines and shapes. For example, make a picture of a house using straight lines for the walls and a triangle for the roof.
4. Sharing and Talking: Show Your Work: Share your drawings with friends and talk about what you made. You can also look at their drawings and give each  other feedback.
