The first stop for our Art ship is the city of Lineus (Lin AY us). The people of Lineus are rather timid and seldom venture out of their city. The city itself is protected by an immense wall, and an enormous tower rises from its center. This city is unlike anything anyone has ever seen on earth. Everything in the city, from its structures to its people, is made of lines. Each Grade level focuses on certain lines and certain aspects of the city.
-Pencil Control
--Students learn about using variations of pressure to produce different values of line.
-Types of Line
--Students learn about basic lines and create drawings using them.
Student Artwork: Kindergarten: Critters of Lineus
-Students practiced creating imaginary critters that might inhabit Lineus. They were comprised of only straight lines.
Examples: pencil control
Grade 01: Structures of Lineus
-Students learned and practiced vertical, horizontal, and diagonal lines, and used specific types in the creation of the outer wall, the buildings, and the central tower. Students then collaborated to combine their tower segment with those of their classmates to create the final tower. Students also learned about a few works of Piet Mondrian, where he incorporated simple vertical and horizontal lines. They then created their own Mondrian-inspired artwork on the computer. The works were theirs, but had to have the same kinds of lines or the same colors as the Mondrian work.
--Black: city, Mondrian01, Mondrian02
--Ciampoli: city, Mondrian01, Mondrian02
--Jamison: city, Mondrian01, Mondrian02
--Lauder: city, Mondrian01, Mondrian02
--Myers: city, Mondrian01, Mondrian02
--Whited: city, Mondrian01, Mondrian02 Grade 02: Vehicles of Lineus
-Students used vertical, horizontal, diagonal, and patterned lines to create flying machines the Lineans might use to become explorers like us.
--DeHaven: ship01, ship02
--Elder: ship01, ship02
--Golden: ship01, ship02
--Hasson: ship01, ship02
--Kochka: ship01, ship02
--Stager: ship01, ship02 Grade 03: Forest near Lineus
-Students used vertical, horizontal, diagonal, patterned, and curved lines to create images of trees found in a forest near to the city of Lineus. The trees had been modified by the tiny inhabitants of the forest so they looked almost like buildings. The hope being that the Lineans would be inspired to become explorers like us.
Examples: Trees Grade 04: People of Lineus
-After learning about vertical, horizontal, diagonal, patterned, curved, and implied lines, students created images of what they imagined the Linean people might have looked like. The only requirement, other than the use of most of the covered lines, was that the creatures be as unlike humans as their imaginations would allow.
