The students are working on their official first project which is the major involvement of the element = LINE. There are 7 elements of design and we are tackling one of the easiest ones to grasp. The students are drawing 4 contour lines or OUTLINES of animals and four contour lines of objects. Inside of their outline, they are writing the letters so that the letters of the name make up the shape. For example, I would draw the outline of an elephant and write elephant inside so that the letters make it look like an elephant. They are allowed to twist, turn, or even flip the letters to create their animal or object. The students are also working on creating more complex patterns with sharpies. In the end, they will have a border with lots of fantastic patterns, with their animal or object of their choosing inside.
Parents: Try this at home! In fact, ask your child(ren) to help you. I try to refrain from giving art homework but this would be a great way for them to recall information from class if they become your teacher (: Here are a few snapshots of the progress!
