Fifth grade is working their way through the Elements of Art. We started off studying types of line. I gave them the choice of two projects but the class was split. So, we did both!
The students first thought of and drew as many different types of lines as they could. Next, the students used these lines to make a Line Lion.

The lines were the lion's hair. You can see the one on the bottom row, third from the left, on display in the office now!
For part two of the line study, students learned about the artist, Wassily Kandinsky. They studied his use of line and color (another art element). These paintings turned out beautifully. I think Kandinsky would be proud. (We even painted to music like Kandinsky.)
