Here is my lesson board where I post project examples and standards. Kindergarten:Kindergarten has just finished some adorable Apple Collages! After a few weeks of working with pencils and crayons, I wanted to change it up for the kinders. They love paint (obvi.), and anything involving paint is the best thing ever. So I decided to do some printmaking with apples. I have done this before, more for the experience than the actual product. I also utilized my art centers as a way to work with small groups during the process. Next class I showed students Paul Cezanne's Still Life with Apples, and practiced looking at art and talking about what we see. Next students cut out their apples, drew and cut out a bowl for the apples, and drew their table. This lesson is great for teaching students about using scissors and glue- they can't get enough exposure to these materials! They also got to add an apple print to their class tree... and this is how I displayed them. 1st grade:First grade had a fall music performance, so I was asked to have students create some fall decor for the stage. SO, we talked about the season changing, particularly what happens to the leaves on the trees. We looked at different shapes and colors of leaves, and came up with our warm color scheme. Students used tissue paper and paste (I just watered down some Elmer's) and they filled a half sheet of paper. This lesson is great for talking about collage, which is a term I have to reinforce with my kids! Next class when collages were dry, students drew their leaf shapes on the back (white side) and then cut out their leaves. Their leaf became part of our stage installation for the Fall music performance. This project has bright and fun results, and it's great for making science connections!
