This is a lesson that I took part in with a group. Our group did a lesson on painting. We based our painting lesson around the theme of Easter. Our lesson was for kindergarteners. During our lesson we taught the students how to paint using shapes, lines, and colors. The students were asked to paint three eggs using shade, tint, shapes, and lines. The top picture is examples of eggs that I did to give the students an idea of what we were asking them to do. The bottom picture is a picture of our bulletin board we created to show the work of our students.
Below is our lesson plan for this lesson.
Lesson Title:
Easter Egg Painting
Grade Level:
Kindergarten
Rationale:
·
Students are great workers for a short period of
time and want to see immediate results.
·
Students are moving from scribbling to shapes
using patterns of dots and vertical, horizontal, diagonal, and wavy lines.
Developmental
Characteristics:
The purpose of this lesson is to introduce kindergarteners to
certain elements of design that they will be using for their project. Typical kindergarteners will work hard for
short periods of time on their egg project and they will be able to have
results quickly throughout the project. They also will be able to create their
own patterns using colors, lines, and shapes to express their own creativity.
Multiple
Intelligences:
·
For visual learners, we will incorporate a power
point into our lesson to show information
·
For kinesthetic learners, there will be
opportunities for students to have independent practice on the techniques being
discussed
Materials and
Resources:
Students:
·
pencil, markers, crayons, colored pencils,
scissors, paint brushes
Teacher:
·
EGG: egg template, white construction paper for
egg, paint, paint trays, paint brushes, newspapers, water cups, notecards
·
Intro Activity: plastic eggs, candy, Easter song
(http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2_W-jAuzUhY),
Easter basket
Vocabulary:
·
Tone-
any color plus gray
·
Tint-any
color plus white
·
Shade-any
color plus black
·
Line-a
mark made by a pointed tool; often defined as a moving dot
·
Shape-
an area contained within an implied line
·
Color-
depends on light because it is made up of light
National
Standards/Objectives:
·
Standards
1.d. use art materials and tools in a safe & responsible manner
3.b. select and use subject matter, symbols, and ideas to communicate
meaning
5.b.
describe how people’s experiences influence the development of specific
artworks
Procedure:
1. Anticipatory Set:
·
When the students arrive to class, we will
discuss the upcoming holiday and ask them a few questions about it
·
Then, we will tell them we are going to go on an
Easter Egg Hunt throughout the classroom and that each person needs to find one
egg and take it back to their seat and do not open it until we tell them to
·
During the Easter Egg Hunt, we will play an
Easter song in the background
Step 1- Power Point
Teachers will explain the elements of design and information
on the power point.
Step 2- The Elements
of Design (Modeling)
The teacher will demonstrate how to create different lines,
shapes, and patterns that the students may want to use to decorate their eggs. The
teacher will also show the students
different egg examples using lines, shapes, patterns, and color.
Step 3-Guided
Practice
The students will take out a scratch piece of paper and
practice drawing the different elements that we talked about such as lines,
shapes, and colors as well as patterns. They will draw a few eggs on their
scratch piece of paper and practice these elements on those eggs.
Step 4-Creating an
egg
The students will first use the egg template to trace their
three eggs on a piece of paper and then cut them out. After that, they will write their name on the
back of each egg. Then, they will take their three cut-out eggs and draw
different lines, shapes, and patterns on them for their final designs before
they paint the eggs. Each student will then paint their eggs using the
warm/cool colors that match the color that was found in their plastic egg
during the beginning Easter egg hunt. Finally, the students can then work with
tones to make those warm/cool colors lighter or darker.
Step 5- Easter Egg
Display
1.
The students will take their notecards and write
which color they had inside of their plastic egg and what other color(s) and
shades they used and why they chose them.
2.
Students will allow their eggs to dry on the
drying rack with their names on the back of each one.
3.
Use the lettering “Easter Egg Fun” and put the
eggs inside a basket made by the teacher to attach to the board.
Closure:
Review the vocabulary terms that were discussed in class
today and ask if any student would like to share what they wrote on their
notecard or show their egg(s) to the class.
Clean Up:
Students are responsible for cleaning up their own space as
well as their brushes in the sink but teachers will come around to collect the
paint trays.
Integration:
Students can use this concept of color to create planets and
a sky when learning about the solar system in science class. They can also use
the Easter theme to write a story in Language Arts and tell about their Easter
experience/plans.
