Today, we've created a piece of artwork of a room in our house of our choosing using a piece of white computer paper and only primary colored oil pastels. I've created a picture of my bedroom, drawn horizontally from a birds eye view.
The purpose of this lesson was to educate young students on distinguishing the primary colors. This project was more than appropriate for the grade level (kindergarten) because it followed Ohio's standard curriculum while creating a fun and open learning environment for these young students. Visualization and kinesthetic activity are always the most ideal when educating early childhood because those are the types of lessons that fit their attention span and learning capacity. Furthermore, this activity allowed students to work with only three colors for an extended period of time, engraving the primary colors in their brain. Also, at the beginning of the activity, the students had to grab the primary colored pastels out of their box, proving that they had learned (or didn't) from the lesson on primary colors. This project back up the quick lesson, reinforced the main ideas in the lesson, and had a "sneaky" form of assessment for the teacher to gather who took something away from the topic.
The standards are as follows:
Ohio Department of Education - Visual Arts
1.1.6. Elements: primary colors
1.2.1. Skills and Techniques: explores the tools and processes of visual arts
Common Core ELA
K.W.8. With guidance and support from adults, recall information from experiences or gather information from provided sources to answer a question
K.SL.4. Describe familiar people, places, things, and events with prompting and support, provide additional detail.
As seen above, all of these standards were covered by using different arts tools and recalling information from the lesson on primary colors by answering questions and visualization on paper
Areas of difficultly I could potentially see if I were to implement this lesson myself are: honestly none. I think this lesson covers a decent amount of standards along with the chance to walk around and see which students are striving and struggling on this lesson. It's creative, opens discussion, and can be done in large groups.
