Week 7: Lines

The lesson began with children discussing about a landscape made out of lines (on Powerpoint slideshow, not shown in the pictures). They described the picture given as accurately as possible. Then we moved on to talk about the various kinds of lines and its names.







The 4 general steps for doing Art discussion are listed below. I will further break down the questions or build on children's answers depending on the topic:

Desciption: Observe the artwork closely. Describe what's seen.
Analysis: Identify significant art elements and principles. Analyse how these are used to achieve effects.
Interpretation: What does it mean/ represent? Explain based on visual evidence and one's knowledge, experiences and ideas.
Judgement: Form personal opinions about artwork and evidence.

Lines are all around us. Be observant about lines in our environment and how functional they can be.
