Lesson Background:
We have started reading Nim's Island by Wendy Orr as our class novel for this term, so I decided to spend a few weeks creating some tropical island art. This is our first artwork for the term. I got the idea for this artwork from Donna Hugh's art project for kids: http://www.coycreek.com/animalsoftherainforestartlessonsforchildrenvol5dvd.aspx
Lesson Materials (per child):
1 sheet A4 black card
Oil pastels
Lesson Steps:
1. We looked at photos and a video of toucans. We discussed the colours and textures.
2. We drew the toucans, with me guiding the students step-by-step ( I drew a shape, then the children drew theirs).
3. Students were encouraged to have 1-4 toucans, in any position they liked.
4. We looked at photos of tropical plants and flowers. The students then drew and coloured these in their artworks.
5. The students outlined the toucans and large plants in black oil pastel.
