IT's ArT TiME!


We had such a great time today with Mrs. O learning all about how artists use lines in art! We talked about organic lines in nature, dotted lines, circular lines, zigzag lines and much more! We practiced making these lines on a piece of paper as you can see in the above pictures. After practicing lines we discussed shades and how to press firmly or lightly depending on what type of line you want- fair or bold. Then we added this shading to our lines practice.

Next we looked at pictures of animals and observed all the different kinds of lines on them! From there we practiced drawing the animals and then traced them in ink. The last step was to color in the picture with pastels. These turned out SO well! They will stay in our classroom for a bit before being sent hom :) Thank you Mrs. O!
