A Little Line Can Go A Long Way

“A little line can go a long way” is the theme we continue to explore in art.

While kindergarten through 3rd graders are using lines to form shapes and pictures to tell a story or related dream or idea, fourth through eighth graders are choosing to portray images of a favorite pet or animal of special interest to them.

The process of discovering just how much of a difference variation in length, thickness, and especially value of an extra line here or there can make is bringing their art pretty close to life.

Seeing the care and kindness the students have for each other plus the cooperation and excitement they have in class for each assignment warms my heart each day.

We have only begun the journey those little lines are taking us, but so far it’s been an exciting one worth taking. I promised you lots of pictures, and here they are!
