The Penguins and Grasshoppers are exploring ways in which artists use lines and shapes in 2 and 3D form. Over the next several months they will be exposed to many different art materials and forms and learn to make individual choices about the way they engage with these materials. Today, we talked about different types of lines. The students were asked to stand up and stretch their bodies. (always a good thing to do when making a transition to another classroom!) We made tall, straight lines by reaching our arms high above our heads and standing on our tiptoes. The students curved their bodies from left to right. We wiggled and jiggled. Students made their own suggestions to jump up and down in place or spin in a circle. The classes were then introduced to the materials for the day: a large piece of white, watercolor paper, ink, and a brush. We talked about how artists can use their paintbrush to make different types of lines...just like we did with our bodies. The Grasshoppers and Penguins shared their ideas with their classmates and teachers and enjoyed trying out a new material: ink.
