Every student drew a self-portrait using a variety of pencils and markers. They could include other details in their self-portrait like members of their families, pets, things that they like to do etc...
We also made a person by cutting, arranging, and gluing shapes down. Each shape had a specific prompt like 'make a pattern in the rectangles". No examples were given so the students were free arrange shapes as they liked. There was quite a variety of interpretations on what a person looks like using these shapes.
Students have completed several projects based on lines. We studied artists like Wassily Kandinsky and Piet Mondrian and discovered the types of lines they used in their paintings. We began noticing how lines show up in our classroom, our homes, and our yards. Students have made some resist paintings, experienced lines through clay, and created line collages as well.
