Today we read the book Lines That Wiggle by Candice Whitman. It has fabulous illustrations to look at and raised lines to give a great texture to the book as well. This book was great for students to look at because it illustrated to them how a curved line could be a path, or short straight lines could be the texture of fur.
After the story, we took a look around the room to see how many different types of lines we could see to help warm up our "art eyes". Next, students created their own creature using oil pastels starting from the head all the way down to the toes and including texture of fur, scales or feathers too! After their drawing was complete they added some brilliant color using tempera cakes.
Once they were complete they named them! The room came alive throughout the process and certainly during the naming!
