Children's House entered the room with a twisty line only to wonder what will we discuss during our first art class? Lines! For the start of the school year we will be studying the Elements of Art, concentrating on one element at time. Lessons will be creative, individualized, challenging, and focus on skills that promote fine motor development.
Upon entering the room we discussed the many different types of lines. (Straight, curvy, zig zag, loopy, vertical, horizontal...) The children were asked to use their pointer finger to practice drawing examples in the air before beginning. Each student was then provided with the opportunity to draw each line discussed on their paper. The line could be placed anywhere on the paper as long as it ran from edge to edge. Lastly we designed the shapes with patterns and color.
Next we will be exploring shapes. Starting with circles, we will practice tracing, cutting and glueing. Stay tuned!
