4th Grade Line Variety Drawings

4th Grade Line Variety Drawings

     4th graders worked on using a variety of lines to create an interesting, detailed drawing. Students chose an animal to cut out from a magazine and collage onto their paper. Students were to invent a detailed environment around their animal, using a combination of pencils and Sharpie markers. Students were to show at least 5 different kinds of lines in their work... straight, thin, thick, dotted, dashed, zig-zag, squiggle, ocean waves, spiral, jagged, and so on... Students were working on the following learning targets in this project:

- I can use at least 5 different kinds of lines in my drawing.

- I can create a detailed and balanced environment around my animal.

- I can show careful use of craftsmanship in my drawing.

Kinders Cut Lines!

Kinders Cut Lines

     Kindergartners worked on using scissors to cut a variety of different lines... straight, squiggle, zig-zag, and ocean wave lines. Students practiced cutting these lines on a colored piece of construction paper, spaced the pieces out and glued them onto a black background. Oil pastels were used to draw around the insides of the cut lines.
