During my first year of teaching elementary art, I wrote a little poem to help my students learn the names of LINES, an important element of art. The poem was called Larry the Line. 

I'm excited to share that Larry the Line has now expanded from a once-short poem to a children's book that I have written and illustrated.

Inside the pages of this 8.5" X 11", 42-page children's book, you'll learn all about LINES in a fun, catchy, and rhyming way. The bright and bold illustrations will allow students to easily understand and learn.

Lines are introduced with their characteristics explained such as, "A vertical line goes up and down, it stretches from the sky down to the ground. Vertical lines are strong and stable, like the sides of a building and the legs of a table!" 

I illustrated the book with large, bright, and bold drawings so it could be enjoyed on the lap of a child or shown around the room to a classroom of students. 

So whether you are a parent, grandparent, or guardian of a child eager to learn this important element of art or a classroom teacher looking for an engaging way to introduce students to LINE, I know you will love Larry the Line!

BONUS PAGES! In the back of the book, there are two bonus pages filled with examples of LINES to be shared with the young artists in your life.

Larry the Line

Really fun book! My young students just loved the little story and visuals were the perfect prompt/reference to get them to explore and understand line. My 4 year old class read the book one week, and the following week I asked them if they remembered the friend we had met in the book last week and a bunch shouted “Larry!!!” so it definitely sticks!

Larry the Line

My students love this book! It goes great with our line lesson and really helped the kids be more in detail with their assignment. This is a great book that explains one of the elements of art. Our project also happened to be about snakes! It was perfect.

Masterpiece Books by Cassie Stephens about the Elements of Line and Shape

Cassie has been an incredible mentor to me over the years that I have taught art. One of the first things I learned from her was Larrry the Line poem and I absolutely loved how kids connected to the character, in turn learning about the element of Line. When Cassie shared that she has published a book for the character, I was over-the-moon with excitement and so were my little artists. Then came along Alfred the Ape, and that was another layer of excitement for the kids (and me).
I have LOVED teaching through those two books that are rich in cross-curriculum content, incredible illustrations, and just so engaging for the kids. The quality of the books are outsatanding and would make an awesome addition to your art library or a great gift!

Cassie rocks the "art teachering" world, and I can't wait for more...Thank you Cassie for your dedication to advocate for art education.
