Third Grade Makes Their Mark

For the first day of art class, third grade examined how the element of design LINE is used in drawings by Vincent Van Gogh and Pablo Picasso.   Students described these different types of marks as wavy, curly, dotted (stippling), cross hatched, vertical, and horizontal.  The challenge for third graders was to cut a circle from their square cardboard and create their own mark.  Some young artists repeated the a line, while others used several types of lines and incorporated them into a pattern.  This exercise is preparation for a mark making lesson we will do later this year when we use tooling foil.
