Non-objective Drawings by 3rd and 4th Graders

I love non-objective art.

Non-objective art means that the art does not represent or depict person, objects or places.  It is a picture with lines, colors and shapes as the subject.

I teach this drawing project every year and the results are always beautiful.

The children learn about concepts such as types of line, organic and geometric shapes, shading, values, variety of sizes, variety in general, overlapping, texture (from rubbing plates) and how to categorize non-objective, abstract and realistic art.

Kandinsky is one artist who made non-objective artwork.

Here are some of my 3rd and 4th graders’ non-objective drawings.
