EPIC Curriculum: Shape

Описание: How to teach SHAPE!

I'm sharing a few teaching tips on introducing children to the element of SHAPE.
I'll show you two lessons:
1. Calder inspired Geometric Fish for Grades K-2
2. Matisse Inspired Organic Shape Collage for grades 3-6

Head over to Deep Space Sparkle to read instructions and download the drawing guide:

Shape is a great element of art to follow line in a sequenced art curriculum because lines close or connect to create shapes. You can explore what types of lines are used for geometric and organic shapes to not only help children see the difference between the two types, but also how using different lines affects the type of shape being drawn.

From helping children identify and draw basic shapes to using shape in an advanced planned out composition to achieve balance and visual interest, these carefully selected and sequenced lessons teach children how understanding shape can help them make their best art.

All of these projects bring together line and shape to help children see how they connect while exploring fun materials.
