A Preface to a Creative Line - A warm up activity that will be suitable to every grade every student

A Preface to a Creative Line A Preface to a Creative Line - A warm-up activity that will be suitable for every grade and every student Students on many occasions, when newly arrived at my Art classes, show negative feelings and little or not interest towards any manuality or freehand visual experience.

The student prepares the canvas using Gesso to seal and prime the canvas before the oil is applied. The gesso should be tone down, this way the canvas doesn't lose its texture and the oil will run smooth. Also will protect the canvas from deterioration, the oil will ruin the canvas quite fast if has not been prime. 2. The student draws the artwork carefully, soft lines divide each color and each object, students are not allowed to use a grid, they only find the middle point by drawing an "X" across the canvas than the drawing. It is very important to learn to look closer, to see the distance and locations correctly, to conquered and own the space and what lives in it. 3. Look closer to the color wheel, Student look with caution the colors making note of how ma...
