First grade is learning all about lines! Lines are everywhere! They love the Scratch Garden YouTube video about lines and we read the story "Lines that Wiggle" by Candace Whitman. I brought in some leaves and we looked at the lines we could see in them. I have 3 different tracers for them and they outline the leaf with permanent marker and then divide their leaf into sections. Students learn how to create a wax resist painting with crayons and watercolors. They fill their paper with lines and patterns as well as some shapes. I was going to have them make the leaf warm colors and the background cool colors, but decided to let them experiment with the colors. We looked at the differences created by color choices of both crayon and watercolor (ie. yellow crayon/yellow paint vs. yellow crayon/violet paint).

I was a graphic designer for many years, and then decided to make the leap into art education. I taught elementary art for 8 years. Archives
