Shapes and lines

Mrs. Perry's TK Class 2015-2016

We talked about lines and shapes.  We practiced lots of lines on another paper...
cloud/rainbow lines, zig zag, mountain, loopy, curly, wavy, straight!
We did a directed draw to make a hot air balloon.  Inside the Balloon they drew more lines!











Lines - Magic Carpet

Today we are learning about lines and practicing drawing different kinds of lines!

We read:

We practiced straight lines, zig zag (mountain lines), wavy lines (like the ocean), curly & loopy lines, castle lines, and cloud or rainbow lines!

Each kid made their lines on their strips of paper and glued them onto a
 paper to make a magic carpet!

George Seurat - Pointilism with paint and end of paintbrush

Georges-Pierre Seurat (French: 2 December 1859 – 29 March 1891) was a French Post-Impressionist painter and draftsman.
He is noted for his innovative use of drawing media and for devising the painting techniques known as chromoluminarism and pointillism. His large-scale work, A Sunday Afternoon on the Island of La Grande Jatte (1884–1886), altered the direction of modern art by initiating Neo-impressionism, and is one of the icons of late 19th-century painting.

When you view from a distance your eye blends the dots together, this is called optical blending. You can see this in Seurat’s painting The Eiffel Tower (pictured on the right). When you look at it, it looks orange, but really he only used tiny dots of red and yellow which your eyes blend to make the color orange. Instead of mixing the paint himself, he is making your eye do all the work!

The hot air balloon is the oldest successful human-carrying flight technology. The first untethered manned hot air balloon flight was performed by Jean-François Pilâtre de Rozier and François Laurent d'Arlandes on November 21, 1783, in ParisFrance,

I like the idea of this painting though I'm not really a fan of impasto for this piece.
