I really loved the concept of this lesson I found. Keeping to the topic of my kindergarten minis, I chose to write about an art lesson. In this lesson, the students will create an art book, following different lessons about different concepts in art. I always loved these creative projects when I was in school, so I thought it would be a nice addition to my blog. The students will create different pages, which you can really choose what you would want them to be about, but because I am not really too crafty in the arts department, I will keep it to the lesson I found.
First is of course the art cover. You can choose the topic of what you would like on the front cover. Next comes the first page which is called Primary Hands, where the students will trace their hands, and color them in using any of the primary colors. Page two is called Blotter Bugs where the students will learn about mixing colors. Now we skip a few pages in the book (you guys can all go to the link to see all the other ones), page 8 is about the artist, where the students will write a little bit about themselves, and draw a self-portrait. Once that is done, you guys will collect all the pages-maybe have them put them in order for you?-and bind them together for them. You can staple the pages, punch holes and run yarn or other strings through them, what ever you choose!
This is really an interactive cooperative learning project for the students. They learn the lessons and will create their own little pieces of art for the pages in their books, and can even walk around helping their classmates when they're done! :)
