After learning about different kinds of lines, the Junior Kindergarteners moved onto an art project that incorporated more lines as well as shapes. They learned about the artist Keith Haring and they identified shapes in his artwork. They could easily see how they could use pre-cut out shapes and arrange them to look like a dog, much like Keith Haring did in his art. As a class, we all took our large rectangles and glued them down to the paper for the body of the dog. Then, the Junior Kindergarteners glued down their smaller rectangles for the snout of the dog and then the legs. Last, they used small rectangles to form the ears and the tail. Keith Haring liked to include lines in his art so I thought it was only fair to have the students practice drawing straight, dashed, loopy, zigzag, and curvy lines. They did not have to use all of these lines in their Keith Haring dog pictures but they demonstrated how to do about 3 of them. Overall, we ended up with many cute, unique Keith Haring dog pictures!
