Parent and Teacher guide

Black Line is an artistic and creative book that combines art, story and imagination and promotes creative thinking. Upon opening the book, the reader sees a black line on a white background. On each spread there is a flap that hides one possibility that a line can be. This encourages the reader to imagine other possibilities before opening the flap.
The black line may be a rope, a ballerina's ribbon, a railway, or a tent's rope....
It can be things from our life and our environment. Kids are encouraged to imagine other things that a line can be.

Questions for discussion:
- Look closely at things around you, how many lines can you see?
- Try to draw a mode of transport with one continuous line (without lifting the pen from the page).
- Do you know how tents are anchored to the ground?
- Draw a kite, how many lines is it made up of?
- There are many different types of lines (thick, thin, squiggly) can you name others?
- We call two lines going in the same direction parallel lines, can you name other line relationships?
