Here is a distance learning lesson I did with my 3rd graders for asynchronous work. We also did a Color Wheel worksheet to go along with their study of colors. Here are a few student examples. Aren’t they so fun?
The first day of school was an orientation day for Kinders and new kids. We had a very shortened schedule and I saw the Kindergartners for about 10-15 minutes. I never feel like I know what the best use of that time is, because it is too short to do any real art projects and it is the first time I am meeting them. So, I decided to read them a story about colors and then do a simple coloring … Read more…
This is a project I love to do with the 3rd graders.  Their drawing all turn out so unique and fun.  First, we talk about what rhythm in art is.  Rhythm is like a visual beat in a picture, created by lines, colors, shapes and space.  Rhythm can be made by repeating certain elements of art.  Here is a good handout about rhythm. Here is another handout about rhythmic line designs.  The students each drew their own line drawing showing … Read more…
My third grade classes studied color theory by using the color wheel. They learned about many different color schemes including warm, cool, neutral, primary, secondary, rainbow, analogous, monochromatic and complementary. First, they started by coloring in this Color Wheel worksheet. (I added monochromatic and neutral to the list.) On 8.5″ x 5.5″ white copy paper, the students drew a design that had rhythm through the use of repeating lines or shapes. We talked about how rhythm in art is similar … Read more…
