Checkerboard Art


Bronze Feedback Medal for All Time! 158 Feedbacks

Artwork made from crossed lines.I saw a similar project on Pinterest and was struck by how neat it looked. I thought that you could make any type of shape or even words. You could do this as a project to keep the kids busy for a while. Or you could make some one-of-a-kind cards. The possibilities are endless!

  5. Use your ruler to make lines going across the page. Have them going diagonally and straight. When you make the lines all wonky, the better the picture will turn out. Just don't overlap the lines.

  9. Pick your colors and start coloring in. It's easiest to color all the blocks one color, then move onto the other color. You can make the hearts different colors. I stuck with red and pink, and black and white. But, you can mix it up a little. Have fun with it!

  13. You can also make a thank you note (or any other message) by writing out the words in block form. Follow the same directions for filling in with color.
