How can I use this resource?
This fun Easter-themed resouce simplifies art for kids, providing 4 egg sizes with 48 linear patterns for easy tracing and coloring. Our brain doesn’t like surprises, and therefore we prefer uniform repetitions like graphic patterns that have a consistent structure. Because the brain processes patterns quickly and with little effort, children can recognize patterns quickly and have no difficulty drawing or tracing them. When drawing on an entire sheet of paper, however, they would quickly lose track- where should they start and where should they stop? A clearly defined area for drawing eliminates this issue- for a beginner, the smaller the drawing area, the better. Our Line Patterned Eggs resource introduces various egg sizes, from 2 in (5 cm) to 8 in (21 cm), alongside 48 original linear patterns. These worksheets present a structured canvas for drawing, eliminating confusion and allowing budding artists to focus. The linear patterns are composed of various types, such as wiggly, straight, grooved, cracked and delicate lines.
Drawing these simple lines and curves requires good fine motor skills. Like all techniques with pencils, drawing must be practiced, practiced and practiced again... On the margin of a student‘s drawing, the following note was found from the great master Michelangelo (1475-1564): “Draw, Antonio, draw, Antonio, draw and lose no time!” This is still true today.
