Students explore media and techniques to create works of art

Students recognize and imitate Leonardo da Vinci's unique artistic style. Through observation and practice, students capture the look of real things from many angles in actual space. They attempt their own still life drawing.

Students explore how to draw in 3-D. In this visual arts lesson, students use newsprint and a yard stick to construct three dimensional drawings of objects.

Which of these objects are the same? Get your pre-readers comfortable with identifying objects that are identical, focusing on the term same. They examine eight pictures, drawing a line between those that are the same. The objects should...

Which of these words begins with the letter e? Scholars become familiar with lowercase letters e and f by visually matching. After tracing each letter, they draw lines from the letter to images beginning with the same...

Young scientists gain a better understanding of space, the solar system and its vastness by creating a scale model. Students first need to calculate the distance between each of the nine planets according to the size of their scale. This...

As part of a series of alphabet worksheets, learners focus on the letters p and o. They begin by tracing the lowercase letters, using the space to print a few on their own. Next, scholars connect the letter to images that begin...

As young scholars begin connecting numbers with values, help them grasp this concept with sets of objects like these. They examine five sets (up to 15 in number) and match each to a corresponding digit. Then, they draw a set of their own...

How many sets of eggs? Approach multiplication through sets of, in this case, three objects. Learners fill in blanks to complete a number sentence in two forms: ___ sets of 3= ___ and ___ x ___ = ___. There is an example they can...

Stop and drop what is in your hand! Pupils investigate how form effects drag in the 12th part of a 22-part unit on aviation. Groups create equally weighted objects and determine which one falls the fastest by collecting data.

Students are introduced to the applied arts and focus on the applied art of architecture. They examine how architecture communicates messages about the people in a community who use a building. Students study the facade of their school...

An open discussion starts this lesson off. The class takes a critical look at five works of art that demonstrate the impact and purpose of identity through collections or archives. They then write a list or draw 10-15 items found in...

How many items can your learners find that are approximately one inch in length or width? Using this graphic organizer, they find nine, labeling and drawing each. A line that is 1-inch is provided at the bottom of the page, or you could...

Explore five basic shapes- square, rectangle, triangle, circle, and stars with youngsters. They will participate in hands-on activities, draw each shape, name each shape. They also get to eat things that are in the shapes they have just...

Atomic bombs harness the power in the nucleus of an atom, creating devastating power and damage. Classes review parts of an atom by charging a piece of plastic and holding it near their fingers, discussing what is happening and why....

Sometimes short lesson outlines are enough to give you a great idea. Young writers draw any object inside an image of a jar, that doesn't belong in a jar. They can draw a tree, truck, or dinosaur. Tip: Have kids write a short story...

Students use observational drawing to study the unfamiliar They use oil pastels to mix/blend colors. They be introduced to using drawing as a tool for documenting what we can learn from close observation.

Fifth graders discover lines of symmetry for shapes and everyday objects. In this lines of symmetry lesson, 5th graders use a butterfly outline to find lines of symmetry. Students analyze everyday objects for symmetry and use...

Sixth graders identify and replicate two dimensional illustrations of three dimensional objects. In this spatial visualization instructional activity, 6th graders practice viewing objects from various sides. Student participate in...

Young scholars investigate the creation of three dimensional drawings. In this geometry instructional activity, students analyze and complete orthographic drawings. They Cabri software to manipulate and move the drawings around.

In this ESL common objects worksheet, students respond to 6 matching questions, 46 short answer questions, and 8 drawing questions pertaining to colors, directions, and counting, and identifying common objects.

Students investigate orthographic drawings. In this geometry lesson, students identify properties of three dimensional drawings in space. They solve problems using volume and area formulas.

Counting and matching are very important skills for young learners to acquire. Students draw a line from 5 pictures of objects to its correct number on the right. Students color each picture. A good, solid worksheet.
