We have acquired new knowledge of Art education learning theory and practising throught a lot of activities. This are some terms that we have studied in class:

POINTS.

All figures in the last analysis, are composed of points, which is the minimum graphics unit.

 THE LINE.

A line is a continuous succession of points.

- There are different types of lines, so, we will explain the more important in which children will work.

• Straight - when all points are aligned in the same direction. Inside the straight lines there are also subgroups which are:

HORIZONTAL LINES                   

VERTICAL LINES

SLOPING LINES

• Curves - when the points are not aligned in the same direction. It can be drawn open or close:

CIRCUNFERENCE

ELLIPSE

 

SPIRAL

 The line in art, is a very useful tool and takes great variety of shapes, colors and textures. Its stroke can be done with markers, crayons, pencils, watercolors ...

Joining lines we can obtain different creations. In addition we can vary its intensity with more or less pressure in the surface where we are drawing.

The line can express emotions, ideas and feelings and depending on the type of line used the creation can transmit us a determinated feeling. For example, horizontal lines can make us feeling relaxed.

GEOMETRIC SHAPES

 The geometrical figure is a set whose components are points (one of the fundamental entities of geometry), meanwhile, is the Geometry discipline that will address their detailed study of its main features: its shape, its size, its properties and their relative position. The geometric figure is defined as a non-empty set that is composed of dots and understood as a closed area by lines or surfaces, either in a plane or in space. The objects and buildings are composed by geometric shapes.

-Symmetry: Correspondence of position, shape and size, with respect to a point, line or plane, of the elements of a set or sets of two or more elements together. Symmetry is a characteristic feature of geometric shapes.
