Non-objective Drawings by 3rd and 4th Graders

By | | , , ,

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.

Two nonobjective drawings: one in black and white and one in color, with text "Nonobjective Drawings" in between, as created by 4th Graders.

Kandinsky is one artist who made non-objective artwork.

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

Non-objective drawing with multicolored swirls, shapes, and patterns created using blue, pink, and purple crayons, suitable for 3rd graders. Non-objective drawing featuring scattered black shapes on a white background, intertwined with curved lines. Non-objective drawing in black and white with various geometric shapes and lines, creating a chaotic and dynamic composition. Non-objective drawing featuring colorful shapes, with a black wave, a blue circle, and multicolored squiggles on a white background. Abstract drawing with various colorful shapes, including stars, hearts, cubes, swirls, and a play button symbol. Abstract pencil drawing featuring various shapes, patterns, and a central animal-like figure. Abstract black and white non-objective drawing with various textured shapes, lines, and patterns scattered across the canvas. Abstract pencil drawing by 4th graders with various shapes, lines, and shaded areas on a white background.
