Description: For this activity we learned about how to make different prints and where they originated from. Then we used ink with at least 3 different colors, 3 different patterns, and 3 vegetable prints.
Picture:
Alternate Activity: This would be a good activity for kids learning about different types of plants or learning about different cultures and where printmaking originated from. Then using paint instead of ink so it's not as messy.
Description: In this project we learned about different patters as well as making our own "Whoville" from the animations of Dr. Seuss. We had to make 3 patterns of 3 different strips of paper, then we glued 7 pieces of paper down to make our town with two different folds for some of the pieces.

Alternate Activity: A different activity we could do for this would be to make paper flowers for Mother's Day after learning about plants in science.
Description: In this project we learned about different techniques of painting. In my project I used a white crayon and colored on the paper before using the water colors. While using the water colors I made sure the paper was wet and dotted it with blue paint. On top, I added a little salt to create texture and put mountains at the bottom of the page.

Alternate Activity: For an alternate activity, I would have the students paint a certain ecosystem/terrain from a science lesson that we learned about. Then they would present them to the class.
Description: In this lesson we were taught how to draw different patterns and how to use points of view. We used a ruler and made a dot at the center of the page then drew lines to the dot from the squares around it to create this picture. Then, we drew patterns in the squares and colored the extended part with oil pastel.

Alternate Activity: This activity could be used with geometric shapes. The students have to draw at least 3 different shapes that they learned in math, then they will draw their "shadow" like the extended parts of the squares above.
Description: In this project, we made our own red sight glasses and then drew an animal upside down. We drew this on white paper with a blue colored pencil. When we were done drawing the animal, we made patterns over it in warm colors so that you can only see the animal when putting the red glasses on.

Alternate Activity: With this activity, I think it would be fun to have a word scavenger hunt with words. The words will be written in a cool color and will be covered in warm colors, so that the students will have to go around the room and try to find the words of the week.
Description: With this project, we took tissue paper and glued it onto a page. Then we made our own landscape over the tissue paper after it's dry. I made a field.
Picture:
Alternate Activity: With this activity, I think it'd be fun to have it pertain to different ecosystems. Then this could be a science project. For example, we could use tissue paper and have the students make an underwater landscape or a desert, etc.
LESSON
Season Agamograph
OBJECTIVES
1. Students will be able to create a foldable agamograph using their choice of materials after watching a Magic School Bus video about the seasons. They will have their choice of material and season.
2. Students will be able to paint one side of the agamograph and create a collage on the other side. Using these two types of media, they will choose a season and portray it in the piece.
3. Students will be able to evaluate and discuss how agamographs can be used and how we can show two different seasons using the artwork.
4. Students will be able to listen to a lesson about seasons, then they will make an agamograph using at least two types of media and two seasons. They will then present the artwork in a gallery walk, and we will have a whole-class discussion on what we noticed about everyone's artwork.
