Lesson 8 – Capstone 1: Silhouettes

Two silhouette profiles face each other, one black with a white thought bubble reading “I hope to use my sketchbook everyday,” and the other white with a black thought bubble reading “I want to use watercolor more.”

In this lesson, students will combine everything they have learned about how artists use their materials in order to create their first self-portrait.

Lesson 3 – Museum

Three thought-bubble-shaped forms inside black circles, each filled with a different textured pattern: the first is gray with a geometric leaf design, the second is purple and pink with a rough, marbled texture, and the third is tan with a woven plaid-like texture.

Completing a virtual class museum trip is recommended at least three times over the course of the year to ensure a well-rounded art experience for the students.

Lesson 2 – Texture Map

Child’s colorful texture rubbing map showing a park, home, school, pond, and baseball field. Different textures represent sand, leaves, cement, and walls, with labeled elements like a park fence, gate, and cement path near the pond.

Students will continue to explore the art element of texture by identifying texture in their environments.
