18. Slight variation to above lesson: Have students choose a single crayon color. Sketch geometric shapes lightly with pencil. Have them trace heavily with a crayon. Use water color paints to fill in sections creating a cubism effect.

19. Alternative Lesson: Day One: Making "Broken Window Drawings" Step 1: The class reviewed the art of Paul Klee and discussed his use of lines. In early works, like the ones at left, Klee outlined blocks before adding color. Step 2: Sketching lightly in pencil, students drew their choice of animal or human figures. They were asked to make simple, blocky drawings so later they'd be easy to paint over. No line should be shorter than one half-inch, and no two lines should come closer together than a half-inch unless intersecting. Step 3: Students made a dot anywhere near the center of the page. With straight-edges, they drew radiating glass-crack lines outward from these dots to the edges of the paper, separated "about the width of pie slices." Step 4: With squeeze bottles of white glue, students were challenged to put narrow beads down the middle of every pencil line. Glue was allowed to dry overnight. Step 5: Using watercolor paints fill in sections. Two neighboring sections must not have same color. Glue helps to keep sections delineated.
