After last weeks lesson being cancelled, this week we came backto finish off with line...and bring in shape. I gave the girls a piece of thin wood..and showed them by holding it on its side and dipping it into balck paint they could print lines. We went through some basic shapes on paper and i showed them how to print and make shapes from lines.
They seemed to enjoy the printing a lot and although Shelly started with a house shape and after asking them to make a picture made out of lines - recognisable things..they both enjoyed the more abstract way...playing around and enjoying the printing aspect. Liron enjoyed draging the wood - so i pointed out that she could make thick lines in this way. I also gave them each a toilet roll and showed them how they could make circular lines...
After this exercise, i introduced Mondrian to the girls.. particularly this picture..'Composition with Red, Yellow and Blue'. We discussed the lines and the types of shapes and colours in the picture.
I gave them a piece of white paper and some precut shapes and black lines and asked them to creat a picture similar to Mondrians...
They both went about this in a different way...Liron diving in with confidence and moving quickly across the paper and Shelly working much more slowly and precisely.
I really enjoyed this lesson and think the ideas worked well. Thanks to Shari for help in this one!
Edit: I forgot to mention that we had Mercedes Sosa playing in the background!
Have a really good weekend everyone!!
