Lesson 4: Printmaking

 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.

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. 

Lesson 3: Paper Projects

 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.

Lesson 2: Painting

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. 

Lesson 1: Drawing

 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.
