Learning about Lines in Art

One of our art lessons created from our district's former elementary art teachers was a hit this week!  Students watched a power point that defined and gave examples of lines used in art.  They were able to see and discuss samples of some paintings done by professional artists.  Students were able to pick out several different rectangle and square shaped cardboard pieces.  They added details to transform the cardboard pieces into city buildings.  First graders were able to create a city scape with their buildings, roads and a horizon.  They had so much fun creating their buildings and talking about the different shapes an sizes they were using.  I'm very proud of my great artists!
