Using the elements

The second graders are having a blast using four of the elements of art in their current piece. Each day we look at a piece Paul Klee's and discuss why he uses lines, colors, texture and shapes. Their responses vary from, "he uses colors,that are his favorite, to he uses line to make his colors pop!" Then we practice doing what he does; making artistic choices.

Using color to go with the flow.

Using lines to add detail and make our art pop! 

Some very cool examples of smart artistic choices!
