Kindergarteners learned about line, and important element of art. We observed how artist Wasily Kandinsky used line as an important element in his abstract paintings. Then, we used call and response to chant a great little poem by artist/educator/blogger Cassie Stephens:
Larry the Line
Is a friend of mine
He can make three
Straight lines for me!
Vertical
Diagonal
and horizontal!
Any curve, he can learn
With a twist and a turn.
When he's out of his tangle
he makes a great...angle.
Any line, he can make
After all, he's a snake!
The kindergarteners loved chanting and moving their arms and hands along with the poem. Afterwards, I demonstrated how to use oil pastel to create lines across the paper. Finally, I showed them how to use water to "wake up" watercolors and create a colorful line painting.
