The shapes and colors of fall.

Students will study the next element of art which is SHAPE.  Lines create the outline of shapes.  Each time a line outlines a shape, it is really creating two images: the positive one and a negative one.  Students will learn about the two categories of shapes: organic and geometric.  Geometric shapes go along with their work in math.  They will learn about the artist Pablo Picasso who style of Cubism is all about geometric shapes.  All classes will start with the organic shapes of fall.  Leaves and pumpkins will be some of the organic shapes they learn.
