Owens Materials: White art paper, pencil, ruler, colored pencils, colored paper for mounting, scissors Directions: 1. Place 2 dots 3-5 inches apart in the center of the paper. Very lightly label each dot "1" and "2". Connect the 2 dots, with the ruler, to create a horizontal line segment.
2. Draw 15 to 20 dots all over the paper (dots may not be along the horizontal line semgent and area if the line segment were extended to edge of paper). The dots should be scattered around on the paper (some should be near the edges). These will be the points (angles) on the design. The fewer the dots, the easier the design for young children. 3. Use a ruler for every line segment. (Students have a tendency to want to draw the segments free-handed. A straight line is needed.) 4. Color the design using colored pencils. Options could include using only 2 colors. The 2 colors could be chosen after the discussion of primary, secondary and complimentary colors has taken place. You may color spaces with just solid colors and with texture. Tammy tells her students that for every space colored with a solid color, there must be at least 2 with a texture or design. She allows 7 spaces to be left white.
5. Cut the star burst from the white paper, leaving a small border of white outlining the design. Mount on black or other colored paper. 6. Possible discussion:
