Primary Color Art

3rd grade overlapping (loosely inspired by Mondrian) primary color line collage

1st grade Primary color superheros *most of these are not done yet-these are the few that I have*

 Pre K4  primary color paintings

-it's pretty amazing to hear what the kids who are painting them tell you what  they are of. I get things like "It's an airplane".

Line Art work!- 4th grade

Here is some art created by 4th grade. We looked at line design art, and talked about the choices the artist made. The different types of lines, colors used ,size, balance, how lines become shape, and variety of the line.  I'm excited with what they came up with.

Art starts with LINE...

I started the year off with LINE. Here is some of what I did with various classes

This is an outfit I wore one day.

Kindergarten, and Pre K4 "walked the line" meaning I drew various lines in chalk from the gate and looped them around, basically in a circle around the prek building and back to the art room for them to walk on. The lines changed colors each time the line style changed (straight, zig zag, curley, wavy, dashed, dotted, bouncy, diagonal)

Then we came back and did a review of what lines we saw. I'm trying this new thing where we do a beginning, mid and end of the year assessment on a few skills, one of which is lines SO I made different packets for PreK and kindergarten. PreK had traceable lines and blank space to try on their own and kindergarten had just blank space. I drew line on board and wanted to see if they could mimic it. Mixed results. Will see how it goes in January.

Pre K 3 didn't do the walk the line, I drew the drawings from "Harold and the Purple Crayon" in the parking lot and we went on Harolds adventure with him. So as I read each page to the kids we went to each drawing on the ground. It was really fun and the kids had a good time. 

The pictures didn't come out great due to the shadows on the ground this is the best I could get :(

too bad you cant tell what is happening in this picture ha

Then we went in and did straight line, zig zag and wavy line assessment, with a purple crayon of course!

1st Grade did a fun project I saw on Pinterest.

2nd grade did blind contours, 3rd did implied movement using line, and 4th is still working on theirs

5th worked on line design cubes- *These are not the best pictures*
