I started the lesson by talking about this piece by Emil Harmin. We talked about the types of lines that are found in the picture. I also asked students about the texture the line-types create i.e. bumpy, flowy, windy, etc.
I showed this photograph:
And this was the "teacher's example" I created to demonstrated how to create a landscape using lines only.
Previously, I did a watercolor wash on top of the landscapes; I decided not to this round, maybe next time.
Students used this landscape photograph to draw from. I told the students they did not have to do the reflection in the water, but they were allowed to if they wanted!
This lesson is a great way to get students thinking about the element of line!
Here are some student examples! I apologize for the quality/shadows on each photograph. I take these photos with my iPhone, it's hard to capture the beautiful art completely!
