H was carefully drawing lines.
She made little curve with her felt.
There is a monster.
•My Reflection :
This is a completely
new concept for me to encourage children with drawing lines. I was wondering how I
can introduce this activity to my preschoolers. What will they do –will they
stick to just drawing lines? Will they scribble or draw something else? It filled all of my thoughts this wonder and I was curious to observe them. Morning Class –when
all of the children came -I sat down with them and on a large paper drew a
line with a felt and told them ,”This is a line.” I Also encouraged them
to find some lines from around our class room. They all were excited to find lines
–they pointed table edge, poster , ceiling, door - everywhere they
found lines. Once we finished our line hunting adventure, I set the art table
with felts and large white paper for each child.
•I was observing all
of them and they all were drawing lines carefully .Some of them were interested
to change the felt color as well. “H” was using brown felt for her lines-she
drew a few lines and told me –Teacher, look, water –I was wondering what she was
trying to draw. I said, I can see you drew some lines –I can see that its look
like water. She made a little curve with the felt which gave the water little
wave .She was changing her felt color, sometimes she picked green and sometimes
yellow. She was enthusiastically drawing and took a long time to finish her
art. Once she was done, she said—inside the water there are Mama Mermaid, dada
mermaid and baby Mermaid. They are going to the water park .I noticed
that all of them were holding hands-she said ,they are holding hands or they will be
lost. Finally she drew another figure and said –look this is sea monster-all
mermaid need to hide now.
