In 4th and 5th grades this week, we have been reviewing types of lines we already know (straight, curved, wavy, thin, thick and broken), and learning about new types of lines such as edge and outline. We reviewed/learned through the interactive game, The Artist's Toolkit (Edge & Outline). I told the students that our first project would be creating drawings of our shoes using a contour line for the shoe, and using other types of lines to create an interesting and visually stimulating background.
...and this is when the fun began. I introduced the students to one type of art career: design. We headed on over to the Converse Shoes website, where we chose and designed different types of shoes. The students had SO much fun designing! Next week we will be starting a drawing of these shoes using contour lines.
Here are the links to create your own shoes---you can even buy them after designing them...how fun!!
