Straight Lines
Subject: Lines in Art
Grade Level: 1st grade
Description: I am going to use this lesson to help my students understand the different kinds of lines. I will teach my students how they can use straight-lines to form many types of shapes and designs in their artwork. After this lesson I want my students to be able to recognize lines in their surroundings such as at school, in their home, outside in the environment, etc. I also want my students to feel comfortable using their own creative imaginations when they are working on their line picture.
Objectives:
· Students will be able to identify types of line in the environment. (Cognitive)
· Students will be able to demonstrate how lines can be used in art. (Cognitive)
· Demonstrate skills in using glue appropriately. (Psychomotor)
· Students will be able to express how the lines in their creations make them feel. (Affective)
Standards:
Standard 1: Students will develop a sense of self.
Objective 3: Develop and use skills to communicate ideas, information, and feelings.
b. Express how colors, values, and sizes have been controlled in artworks to create mood, tell stories, or celebrate events.
USOE Fine Arts Rainbow Chart:
Build Skill Practice-
· Apply, construct, demonstrate, illustrate, evaluate, and practice.
· Practice making likes that are horizontal, vertical, and diagonal.
· Recognize objects that form a line and arrange objects into a line.
Materials Needed:
· Black construction paper
· Many different colors of pre-cut lines
· Glue sticks
· White crayons
Teacher Resources:
· An example of the straight-line design.
· Pre-cut lines ready for the lesson.
· Glue sticks for students.
· Black construction paper for students.
· White crayons so students can write their names on the black paper.
· Examples of masterpieces that will show students examples of line.
Vocabulary:
· Straight line- A line that keeps going and going in one direction with no bending or turning.
· Zigzag line- Sharp turns in different directions.
· Curved line- A line that bends but does not have any sharp points.
· Line- A mark with a pencil that can be in a zigzag, curve, wave, etc.
· Dotted line- Short dots that go straight, curved, zigzagged, etc.
Pedagogy:
Step 1: I will talk to the students about different types of lines and show them examples of them on the board. I will then have the students create their own different lines by having them stay in their personal space and trace lines in the air with their fingers.
Step 2: Next I will just focus on straight lines and ask the students to give me examples of objects around them that have straight lines. I will call on different students to share examples with the whole class.
Step 3: I will then ask the students why they think straight lines are important and why they think artists use straight lines in their artwork. With these two questions in the students’ minds I will explain to them how art can be made just from putting straight lines together.
Step 4: To show the students what they will be doing I will show them an example of my line design and explain to them how many different looking masterpieces can be created by just using lots of straight lines. I will also show the student’s artwork by Picasso, Warhol, and Matisse that contain line. Then I will distribute ten pieces of pre-cut lines that are different colors and black construction paper for students to make their designs. I will hand out glue and make sure students know to glue the cut out lines onto the black paper.
Step 5: Once the students are done designing their lines I will have everyone hold up their creations for the whole class to see. I will point out to the students how many different shapes, designs, and objects lines can create. I will state how they all started out with the same materials yet they all created very different pictures from one another.
Assessments:
1. For one assessment I will be able to see if students understand lines and the many things they can do by just looking at their straight-line designs.
2. For another assessment I can use a rubric:
| Straight Line Rubric | Points |
| Student actively identifies lines in their environment. 0= Student cannot identify any lines in the classroom. 1= Student can identify one maybe two objects with lines in their environment. 2- Student can identify a few lines in the classroom environment but still does not catch onto the concept as much as he/she should. 3= Student can point out many objects in the classroom environment that has lines. | /3 |
| Student can actively demonstrate how line can be used in art. 0= The student cannot demonstrate how line can be used in art. 1= Student starts to demonstrate how line can be used in art but does not finish the whole concept. 2- Student successfully completes the demonstration on how lines can be used in art. | /2 |
| Total Points: | /5 |
Accommodations:
For my students with special needs I will assign them a peer helper that will encourage, guide, and help them with their art. I will also give them more time or less pre-cut lines to glue on their black construction paper.
