So far this year first grade has:
During this unit, students will further their understanding of line and shape. They will learn the difference between 2D and 3D shape/line by comparing the lines drawn on their roller coasters and those used in their landscape paintings and collages with the final manipulation of the paper itself.
- Created and used geometric and organic shapes and patterns
- Identified types of lines
- Explored and created types of lines and textures
- Explore the use of overlapping
During this unit, students will further their understanding of line and shape. They will learn the difference between 2D and 3D shape/line by comparing the lines drawn on their roller coasters and those used in their landscape paintings and collages with the final manipulation of the paper itself.
First grade students acted as Line Spies. They paired up with their neighbor on a mission to find as many lines in the art room as possible.
Students then practiced bending and shaping pipe-cleaners in various ways to form different lines. We played the 'imitation game' with our partners. In this game, students took turns manipulating pipe-cleaners, then shaping. Students taught their classmates and asked them for help
Finally, students were ready to manipulate their paper strips into 3D structures. More to come!
