Hot Air Balloons
Using the book Sebastian and the Balloon by Philip C. Stead as inspiration, students will explore patterns through line and shape as well as the collage technique through a hot air balloon drawing activity. Additionally, students will add watercolor with different tools in order to create varied visual effects.
Spring Flowers
In this lesson, students will listen to the story Lola Plants a Garden by Ann McQuinn via YouTube. Using this as inspiration, students will work together to create a class "flower garden" with primary and secondary colors. In addition, students will incorporate patterns through line and shape variety.
Astrobunnies Collage
In this lesson, students will listen to the nursery rhyme and song Twinkle Twinkle Little Star then read the story Astro Bunnies (which is read to the tune of Twinkle Twinkle). A collage activity inspired by the book will introduce mixed media techniques.
