ART IN MOTION


This is a lesson I just finished with 2nd grade. We explored movement and rhythm in art, we also discussed what is means to create abstract art. This lesson also provided a good time to discuss the different process and products an artist can get by using different mediums, we discovered the differnces in watercolor and tempera painting.

The students really got into not thinking and just creating movements that went with music that I played. I chose classical music that had many different beats and rhythms so that could reflect in thier painting style. The paintings looked way cool when they were all put together. To wrap up we looked at the work of Paul Klee and compared and contrasted the students work with his.
