Kindy and first grade students enjoyed a quick social studies lesson on Native American tribes and the different types of homes each group had based on their climate. They learned that nomadic plains Indians used teepees to quickly move from one spot to another. Our young students created teepees of their own, then filled them with different kinds of lines and shapes. First grade took this a step further with a wonderful perspective lesson (placing their smallest teepees way in the background and larger teepees lower on the page in the foreground). Line is one of the basic elements of art and includes straight, thick, thin, wavy, zigzag, scalloped, curved, etc. Kindergarten focused on this basic element of art. First graders filled their teepees with a variety of colorful lines, cut them out, then painted a sun at sunset for a background. Beautiful! Comments are closed.
