Learning Lines and Color Mixing with TP

Our transitional primary students have been learning all about lines.  They started the year off by representing horizontal, vertical, and diagonal lines with tape.  Now they have added to that by noticing a variety of lines in some of artist Jackson Pollock's work, and described them as curvy, zig zag, wavy, and spiral. We also discussed how Pollock used his whole body to paint and how he made art to express how he felt through lines and colors.   After working with a partner to make our own line paintings, our young artists filled them with their newly discovered colors! We discussed why the primary colors are so special (They can not be made by mixing any other colors together) and what the secondary colors are that they make. We  uncovered how to make different types of green, purple, and orange and some even stumbled upon how to make brown!
