Line Paintings

In Kindergarten, as part of our line art series, we created a painting using various lines.  This was our first artwork in the line art series.  We started by working together on a worksheet where we practiced drawing various lines, some we were familiar with and others we were not- it was great! Then, the students drew their favorite lines on our Fancy paper and outlined their lines with oil pastels of ANY color, that was an exciting thing!

  The next day, we took our paints and then painted in between our lines.  Some students became so swept up in the excitement of painting that they went all over their paper, but it's understandable... it's painting!  They did a great job working and focusing on trying their best with their painting.

Here are some paintings:

Kindergarten Line Flower

In Kindergarten, we used our new knowledge of many different lines to create a Line Flower.  In this project, we started discussing shapes- Circle and Rectangle, and used them to create our Flower. 

For the top of our Flowers, we used three different sized circles and inside of each circle we created lines.  Any kind of line that we talked about was okay for the Kindergarteners to use in their flower. After creating their lines, Kindergarteners were able to trace over their lines with crayon and then color in if they wanted. 

This was another great opportunity to practice using scissors, the small nibbles and big chomps.

Kindergarten Cut Out Lines

In Kindergarten, we just finished learning about different types of lines and how we can create them.  We discussed Wavy, Zig-Zag, Straight-Horizontal and Vertical, Thick and Thin, Diagonal, Spiral and a few fun others.  We practiced our lines on a worksheet where there were labeled squares and we filled them in with the matching line, we did this activity together.

Upon finishing the practice, the Kindergarteners selected three lines to use on their project. These lines were drawn on black construction paper and then cut out.  We discussed how it is easy to cut out lines when our scissors use little nibbles and not big chomps.  This project was great scissor practice!

Once the lines were cut out, the black pieces of paper were then glued onto a colored paper that we filled in with crayons using ROYGBIV (the rainbow). The black papers were placed far enough apart so our colors peaked through and made a colorful line.
