First graders learned about the element of art value. They looked at the art of Paul Klee and discussed what they saw and his use of shapes and value. Our first project was inspired by Klee's "Senecio". Students drew a large shape which filled their paper. Next they added straight vertical and horizontal lines that appeared to go behind their shape. They thought this was the coolest thing when they saw this in their art! Next we added a variety of connected lines inside their shape. Students chose 2 colors and used value in both the background and inside the shape. After this lesson students learned that lines and the use of value can make something look 3-diminsional. They loved how their "tubes" looked like they were popping off the paper!
