HEALTHY FOOD AT ENGLISH LESSONS

I have found a interesting song, from Songs for teaching, to sing a and dance and remeber the food pyramid with my kids

Let's go  working on  some LIMs about food.

MOVEMENT WITH LINES



Horizontal lines are sleepy and calm.

Vertical lines are strong and stand still,

but diagonal lines seem to slide and move,

bringing our eye from one side of the page to the other

and

then "whoosh!" off the page!

We start off this exercise by using the ruler to create a series of diagonal lines and color them in with markers.

Then, we cut the piece up and fan the strips out and create another type of line...a swirly, curving line that also shows movement!

This is also a nice op-art activity.

You can use complementary colors for your diagonal lines or a full rainbow of color.

Experiment and enjoy the process!

Movement With Lines
Supplies Needed:
  • One sheet of white construction paper, 9"x12"
  • One sheet of black or dark construction paper, 12"x18"
  • Ruler
  • Pencil and rubber
  • Markers, assorted colors
  • Glue sticks
Directions:
 
1. Draw a series of diagonal lines on the white construction paper.
 
2. Color in the diagonal lines using markers.
 

 

 3. Flip the page over and divide the page into twenty-four 1/2" wide strips. Use your ruler for this and try to be as precise as possible. BEFORE you cut the strips apart, number them on the back from 1-24 at one end

 
 4. Cut out the strip marked #12. Put glue on the back and glue it on your black construction paper background in the middle, like this:


 

5. Now you can cut strip #11 out and put glue on the back of it. Overlap the left edge of the strip over the left edge of the previous strip
 
7. Once you have finished gluing down strip #1. Place glue on the back of strip #13 and overlap the right edge of the strip over the right edge of strip #12.
 
8. Repeat with strips 14-24 until you get through all the strips, forming a nice curve in the opposite direction with the strips. Use the picture as a guide.


It is OK if the ends of the strips continue off the edge of the page. You can leave them that way or trim them to the edge of the black construction paper.

 
Enjoy!

A WALK WITH A LINE

carl krull at studio

Carl Krull, the artist, born in 1975, lives and works in Denmark and he uses line to express volume.

 

We are going to  have fun at grade 5 creating these line design artworks that give the illusion of form and 3D on a flat piece of paper.

These are some  results

NOTANS

 



 
Notan is a Japanese design concept focussing on the relative placement of light and dark within a composition.
 It's like ying and yang.
This use of light and dark translates shape and form into flat shapes on a two dimensional surface.
Notan is traditionally presented in paint,pap ink, cut paper, but it's relevant to a host of modern day image making techniques, such a lithography in printmaking and rotoscoping in animation.
Let's have a llok to this video and them it's your turn
 
 
We  can start our work with a  black square, triangle, rectangle or circle to represent shapes.
These are some of our notans examples at grade 5

IN ROMERO BRITO'S STYLE

At grade  1, we were working on Romero Brito, a Brazilian painter, who uses lines, spots, circles, hearts... to create his animlas, flowers...

Romero Brito

We atch this video and learn how to work with markers

And here is the poster we made as a cooperative way to have a colourful Spring in our corridor
