1B Art "a line is a dot that went for a walk"

Lesson: Art and design

In Art today we took inspiration from the artist Paul Klee. He famously said "a line is a dot that went for a walk." So we took a dot for a walk to form our own unique outline. We then showed off everything that we had learned in our topic on line to fill in each section. We thought about all the different types of line we had experimented with; straight, curverd, zig zag, nervous, excited, angry or scared and used different styles of line in each section. We then chose what we thought was the best media to use for each style of line; crayon, oil pastel, felt tip, charcoal, chalk, marker pen, biro and different pencils - B, 2B, 3B etc. We were so proud of our finished pieces that after conducting a gallery in the classroom where we admired each other's work, we took our gallery to the junior deaprtment to show Miss Gerrard and Ms Plant. They were extremely impressed too!
