Kindergarten Art Lesson 2

The Art Element Line, Part 2


Objective:

The student will understand how different materials create different line qualities. The student will listen to and follow several verbal instructions which guide them in creating different line qualities.


Materials:

Crayons, markers, pencils and ink pens (linear drawing tools) One sheet of white paper 8 x 11


Procedure:

Review Paul Klee and what a contour line and self portrait are. Mention that Paul Klee said that “...a line is a dot going for a walk”. Read the story of Harold and the Purple Crayon by Crockett Johnson. Talk about how Harold had a wonderful imaginative stroll with his purple crayon as he drew his adventures. Encourage the class to recall all of the things Harold drew (i.e. the forest with one tree, the dragon, the ocean, the picnic, etc.) Today we will take dots for walks to create a variety of lines and line qualities. While we won’t be drawing off any grand adventures, we will learn to see how different materials affect the quality of the lines we draw. Have the students draw three descriptive lines horizontally across the 8 x 11 paper, using a different drawing material each time. For example they might draw a zigzag line with a crayon, a wavy line with a marker, and a dotted line or a straight line with a pencil. Using different materials such as markers, crayons and pencils point out how the quality of the line changes with each drawing material. Have the children trace around each of the lines, top and bottom, using a variety of linear materials to fill the page with colorful lines. Encourage them to change the shape and width of each line. Many of the children will want to call their work finished before the entire page is filled. Encourage them to keep on until the entire page is filled with a variety of lines.


Conclusion:

Review the definition of a line, a dot going for a walk. Encourage the children to notice how the lines are different from one another. Especially the lines that are the shame shape but that are drawn with different materials. Display their work for everyone to enjoy.
