Single-Shape Drawing

Challenge children to create a picture using only one shape. Watch their brains and artwork get into shape as they think creatively.

1. Pick one shape to use in your drawing such as triangle, square, rectangle, circle, diamond, oval, or octagon.

2. With Crayola® Crayons, outline a picture using only that one shape to form the objects and scene. Think creatively!

3. Complete your picture by coloring it.

Adult supervision is required for any arts & crafts project.

Shape, an element of art, is created when lines meet. There are two types of shapes in art: geometric and organic. Circles, squares, and triangles are geometric shapes. Leaves, flowers, and clouds are organic shapes found in nature.
