International Dot Day

-


Activity:  We created dots out of a small dot of just a sharpie dot. For international dot day and then we used oil pastels, watercolor paint, crayons, and markers. We used this project to show blending with the oil pastels and how crayons restrict paint from going on top. 

Extension Activity: The students will create their own dot out of the provided material choices but the only requirement the colors they chose or how they make it has to explain who they are. This is a project we could use as a get to know you or introduction to each other.

Clay Lesson

Activity:  This clay lesson we learned how to knead the clay and then used a template to cut out a that background square. After we had to add an element that stuck out of the clay that represented us. We also had to add an element that dug into the clay. I chose a shooting star because I am a bright person and I thought that represented well.  Extension Activity:  When students are making these we can make a Christmas ornament or a mothers and fathers day present instead. We can write a letter to someone and make it into a present during a celebration in our classroom.

Paper Lesson

 Activity: For this paper lesson we learned about Picasso and then we colored a template of a face with one side a side view and the other a front view. We then colored the face with different materials like colored pencil, pastels, and markers. We then cut them down the middle both ways and switched two of the four pieces with our table partners. After we cut the 4 little pieces into geometric and organic shapes and saw how different they can be even with the same template.  Extension Activity: After the students complete this same activity we can write down ways their face and their partners is different. This lesson can be integrated with learning about uniqueness and talking about how everyone is so different from each other.

We also added texture to the tree and animals.  Extension Activity:  We can shut the lights off in the room and give the students a flashlight to see the comparisons of what they can see in the dark compared to what they can see through their flashlight. Also we can make a story about the picture and then write that as a journal entry.
