| Presentation Set: (15 min) As a group the students will make a list of animals and machinery that are located on the farm. After the list has been made, bring out the art supplies and have students get their painting shirts out. Development: (30 min) The students will decide on what they want to make, and I will help gather and prepare the art supplies needed (pour paint). They will spend this time creating their artwork. If they do not finish in the 30 minutes, allow for 10 minutes at the beginning of next class. Closure: (15 min) As a class, we will take the time to look at everyone’s artwork and talk about what kind of art supplies they used. This time will also be used for cleanup, make sure paint brushes and paint trays are being washed. Wash the desks and set the artworks out to dry. |
