KINDERGARTEN- SUNNY LINE DESIGNS

GRADE 1 – GRANT WOOD LINE AND SHAPE LANDSCAPE
OBJECTIVE: First graders will use a variety of lines and shapes to draw a simple landscape that shows depth. They will use a variety of art media (pencil, crayons & paint) to draw and color.
The artist Grand Wood is famous for doing the picture AMERICAN GOTHIC. Unlike his contemporaries the Impressionists, he painted simple paintings with a classical feel. Many depicted the landscapes of Iowa where he was born. Grant was not a very good student in class. His teacher not tolerating his behavior would send him outside the one room schoolhouse. He spent that time enjoying drawing chickens and other farm animals.

OBJECTIVE: The students will create a fish that contains the letters of their name. Students will incorporate use of lettering in a design as well as incorporating color or line design for accent and exploration of elements of art.
