I designed and implemented a lesson for my grade 7's that focused on the design element of Line. A critical discussion and interactive activity illustrated how lines create different physical and emotional responses in viewers. Students worked collaboratively to discuss responses in art. Working together, they elaborated on each others' ideas and their understanding of line.
I believe it is important to explain the purpose of what the students are learning. Making a lesson meaningful is essential. The purpose of this lesson was to create a classroom colouring book that students can use when they need to reduce stress, relax, or if they have spare time. This can lead into a discussion about Active Living and Mental Health Awareness. The class was so engaged in creating their page in the colouring book. My students blew me away with their artistic talent!
This lesson can be modified for all junior and intermediate grades. You can find the lesson plan, with connections to the Ontario Arts Curriculum, and slides on the Arts Lesson Plans page of my blog, or click here!
Here is an example of a final product produced by one of my students...WOW!!
