2nd & 3rd Grade: Continuous Line Drawings

This week in 2nd and 3rd grade we have been learning and reviewing different types of lines: straight (horizontal, vertical, diagonal), curved, wavy, zigzag, thick, thin, outline, and broken. We started out reviewing these types of lines using The Artist's Toolkit. Students were able to come up to the board and practice finding these types of lines within different works of art. We then, as a class, created an artwork using these types of lines. After learning about these lines, we read the book "Follow the Line to School". This is an awesome book that uses only ONE line to create many different images in the book. The line carries us through different rooms within the school, and asks students different questions about each classroom.

Next week, we will be creating our own work of art that will be made up of three images using only one line. Keep on practicing identifying these different types of lines using The Artist's Toolkit (click the link above)!

UPDATE**
We have finished our unit on line. Here are my examples of student work throughout the project!

I was elated to see that so many of my friends chose art as their favorite part of school!! :)
