4th Grade: Movement Using Line Design

The fourth graders learned about one way to create movement in a still image. We looked at cartoons and even watched the opening song of "Roadrunner" to see how cartoon artists often add lines behind a moving object. We then thought about different types of lines such as straight, zig-zag, curly, etc. The students chose anything they wanted to draw, as long as it was in motion. We talked about how we could EXAGGERATE those lines by making them varied and colorful!
