Grade 1 Line Art
How can you use different types of lines to create Art? What can students learn by using lines in Art? Ms. Campanelli’s grade 1’s recently shared some of their creations. By creating these works of Art, they are demonstrating that they can:
- create line art that repeats and fills a space
- create examples of lines from the angle, circle, dot, curved and straight line families
- draw lines that do not intersect
- Choose bright colors to create colour blocking
These are also significant buildings blocks for the patterns and shapes they will encounter in upcoming Math and geometry units.
