The past couple weeks students continued to explore with colours, lines and shapes. After looking at the lines used in a variety of letters students were given a chance to create patterns with a variety of manipulatives in the shape of a letter, which then led to drawing a pattern in the shape of a letter. Continuing to explore lines students were given opportunities to practice making lines with a dice game in a large group and in small groups. Inspired by nature and the work of Lea Anderson, students created designs with intentional lines, shapes, colours and patterns. Students were given the opportunity to go on a nature walk to carefully observe the lines and patterns seen in nature. With the art cards painted from last week, students had to work together and reason how to sort the cards in small groups. With the art cards sorted into colour families, students will move towards creating lines and shapes inspired by nature onto their art cards created from last week. They were then given time in small and large groups to converse about their observations noticed with provided natural artefacts in the class.
Take your child for a walk into the Edegemont ravine or into your backyard and closely observe the patterns, shapes and lines seen in nature. Comments are closed.
