The 7 Art Elements (line, shape, color, texture, value, space, and form) are the basic foundation to art education. Once a student has mastered the understanding of these elements, we move on to discussing how they are used in the Principles of Design. In kindergarten, students will gradually be introduced to each element throughout the school year. For our first project, we focused on LINE. I read "Lines that Wiggle" to the kindergartners and then we talked about the different types of line. They used their arms to draw imaginary lines through the air (zig-zag, scalloped, wavy, etc.) Then, they drew several lines on their paper and colored the spaces in between. Some students, inspired by the illustrations from the book, decided to create monster faces with their lines. :)
