Let’s talk about art
what is art?
where do we see it?
what should we talk about when we look at it?
color, shape, line, texture, value, hear, see, smell,
Is Art right and wrong?
mistakes in art: good or bad?
One Rule: do not comment on your neighbors artwork.

Line: what is a line?
Where do we see lines
what do lines do in art?
How many line scan you name and where might we see them in life:
zig zag, swirl, straight, thin, thick diagonal, curves, wavy
Shapes: name a shape
how do lines make shapes?
Mammals: you have been talking about mammals in class
