The Very Hungry Caterpillar

Forever favorite! :) These were made by K-2nd Grade.

Hip to Haring!

We started this lesson by having three students strike a pose in the front of the room. The rest of the class can choose one to draw (30 seconds - 1 minute) in the style of Keith Haring. Switch students until everyone has a turn. Final composition can contain elements from Haring's drawings or their own using a similar style. I wish we had more time for them to finish coloring them but I was very impressed by the imagination and creativity that went into these!

Pop Art Cats

Here are some kitties based on Andy Warhol's "Sam" paintings. After a guided drawing, students fold paper into fours. Next, they colored each section individually (helpful if they color each square while the paper is folded. We were excited about the results and love all the bright colors!

Gingerbread Houses

After reviewing some architecture/ basic house structures, I allowed some of my 5th-8th grade classes complete freedom in designing their own gingerbread houses. Most of the students were very engaged and on task as they tried to fill their whole page with candy! Two- 30 minute sessions, the students came up with a lot of great details!

 

and... Spongebob! Had this up for a week or two. I'm so glad kids still like spongebob :)

Thanksgiving turkey's!

With a two day week Kindergarten-3rd grade drew turkeys with step by step instruction and lots of freedom with color. Day two they finished coloring and added a little feather to their turkey's head.
