This week, students are learning more about famous artist, Wassily Kandinsky (1866-1944) and his use of LINE in paintings. Kandinsky said, "music is the ultimate teacher." We discussed how Kandinsky let the music he listened to tell him how to paint. If the music was slow, he would paint slowly. If the music was fast, he would paint quickly. If the music was loud, he might paint sharp or straight lines. If the music was high pitched or soft, he might paint thin, curvy lines. On the carpet, students learned about different goes of line and practiced "drawing" the lines with their pointer finger in the air.
Students learned and drew 8 types of line:
-Up and down (straight line)
-Side to Side (straight line)
-Diagonal (straight line but can also be a different type of line since this is a directional line)
-Dotted
-Zig zag
-Bumpy
-Curvy
-Loopy
After students drew these line on their paper, they used liquid watercolors and painted the paper. If a student didn't finish this week, they will finish on their extra art day.
