4th Grade - Repeating Like Grant Wood
Goal: Create variety, interest or pattern in an original piece of art by repeating lines, shapes, or textures
Grant Wood is known for the repetition of elements (lines, shapes, textures) in his art and that is what our 4th graders tried to incorporate into their art. They started their drawings and then were given some options for adding color. They took a few minutes to try out crayons, colored pencils, and markers and we talked as a class about the similarities and differences and in what situations one might be better than another. Then they got to work on adding the color and working hard to do high quality work. It was a lot of fun to see them come up with their own ideas for the subject matter and then how they were going to meet the goal with their idea. |
