My Project

I will teach the students about mosaic art with rulers and also teach the about the seven elements of art which includes parallel lines. We will use the glue to cut and paste with kindergarten, and construction paper to tear and make apple and pumpkins by tracing and cutting them out with first grade. Another element I will teach students is to cut various shapes such as rectangles, circles, squares making various ways to make art with shapes and colors. Students will explore through their everyday life how shapes are used from sidewalks, crosswalks, and school busses. Everything encompasses around shapes.
