One of the things we work on all year in kindergarten is drawing and writing. To help make our journey as illustrators and writers a little easier we learned a few "tricks." We learned about curves and lines. If you can make a line and a curve, you can draw anything you wish and learn to print every letter!
After learning what a curve and a line looked like, we went on a little hunt around the school and looked for these two shapes. We found lines and curves everywhere!
After becoming line and curve experts, we used wooden lines and curves to build "Mat Man" while listening to his special song.
The next day, we listened to the Mat Man song again. Instead of building him, we drew him on a white board! Everyone did a great job!
After we practised drawing on a whiteboard, we used our special dot paper as a background. We are getting very good at drawing!!
Some of us noticed that there are lines and curves in the letters in our names! We did lots of talking about this and then turned our first initial into a letter person! We used fancy jewels to decorate our first initial and then added arms, hands, legs, feet and a head.
