The first project for first grade was talking about the power of lines. We talked about how lines can have "feeling" and "emotion." We drew out different kinds of lines and the students labeled them with emotions. Then, we incorporated color into the mix. We practiced by drawing sad, happy, mad, etc. lines using an appropriate color. Such as, a very zig-zaggy red line would represent mad. I also even had the students stand up and dance the emotion, such as the emotion of sad was a slow moving dance.
Once we turned our emotions into a dance, drew emotions represented by line and color, we began talking about all the emotions that we feel. Students created an emotion sketch, which had 5 emotions that each student most frequently feels. Then, they were tasked with creating a line for each emotion and then adding a color to that emotion line.
Students used oil pastels for their lines and then filled in the white paper with watercolor. Next time, we will attach photos of each student to their artwork to show each student "blowing" that emotion line, similar to blowing a bubble except it is an emotion represented through line and color.
UPDATE! Check out our finished projects!
