Line is the most basic of the elements of art that artists use everyday in their work. Our kindergarten and first grade class had fun with this project as they explored different types of lines. After a whiteboard review of all the types of lines they could think of, students used crayon to draw at least five different types across their 12" by 18" paper. They then filled in the spaces between the lines using watercolor paints. This gave us a chance to talk about how to use watercolors, how to best achieve a variation of tints with them and how to keep the green paint out of the yellow (wash off your brush!) Below are some of the beautiful results, click on any to see more line paintings.
