Lilly pad

-

 


Description: In this lesson, we learned about the artist Claude Monet and looked at his famous painting of the bridge over the water lilies. The first step is to take watercolor paper and tape down the edges. Then you're going to take a paint brush and dunk it in clean water and wet your paper. You're going to use cool colors and paint your water. Then set it aside to dry. Going to take your pre-cut lily pad and a green marker and draw in the lines. Then, take different shades of green crayons and color in your lily pad. White piece of paper and draw a flower, and cut it out. You're going to take the petals and roll them up so they curl.  Take a long strip of pink construction paper and cut little flaps, but don't cut all the way. Then you're going to roll up the pink paper and hot glue it on your flower you cut out. Hot glue the flower to the lily pad and glue the lily pad to your watercolor painting. 

Extension: You can take this in a social study when learning about different geographic landscapes like oceans, rivers, or lakes. You can have students paint their own landscapes.

watercolor

Description: We learn different watercolor techniques. Crayons or oil pastel can resist the paint; graded washing paint is diluted with water.  We took watercolor paper and a ruler. We drew three lines in pencil to create 2 walls and a floor. One line will be vertical, with a couple of inches away from the edge of the paper. We drew it 3/4 down, then drew a slanted line from the vertical line ending to the edge of the paper. We drew a horizontal line to the meeting point of the other two lines. Then we drew a table with a vase filled with three flowers of our choosing.  Extension Project: For an extension project, you can add it to the math lesson for students who are learning how to measure and create different shapes with crayons.

Oil Pastel- Northern lights

-
Image
  Description: In this project, we learn about the Northern Lights. We learned six different oil pastel techniques, one with light and heavy blending, taking baby oil and rubbing it on the pastel. For this project, we took two pieces of black construction paper, and on one of them we drew an outline of mountains and cut out the outline. Then we lightly trace the outline onto our second piece of construction paper. We took three different oil pastels to make our northern lights. First, you color a little square, then take your finger and drag it in an upward motion to smudge the pastels on the paper. You keep doing this with each of your three colors. Then you can take a white crayon or pastel and outline or color in the mountain's peaks.   Extension : When you do a lesson on galaxies or outer space, you can have students create their own galaxies using the rubbing techniques. Learning about weather, you can have them create a sky right before a storm or creating a sunset...
