Lesson Plan Submitted by Lisa Hester
Elementary Art Teacher at Eupora High School. (USA)
Grades: 1 - 5th grade
Materials:
- Found objects
- Rulers
- Crayons (or markers)
- Large paper
Procedure:
Have students outline several objects such as glue bottles, large paint brushes, scissors, etc. Students add a few details to each object such as labels, handles, etc. Then they are to draw two vertical lines and two horizontal lines across the page - dividing up the tools as well. This will divide the paper into 9 sections. (The lines can be curved or straight - skew or parallel - child decides). Now students pick cool colors (blue, green, and purple) and color the tools, being careful to change colors every time they come to a line. Students may also use different values of the cool colors.
