Lesson for 3/23, Lamb
In art class we have been talking about the different symbols of the Catholic faith. One of those symbols is the lamb. Below will show you the steps on how to draw a lamb! Add anything you wish to the background, maybe some beautiful spring flowers, the sun in the sky, or some green grass on the ground!
Lesson for 3/31, Eggs:
In art class we have been talking about patterns. You can make many kinds of patterns using shape, color, line, and any combination of these. Using your choice of crayons, markers, paints, colored pencils, or any other art supply you’d like to use (like glitter, stickers, cut and glue construction paper, etc.) decorate each egg after you print the egg template!
Lesson for 4/8, Spring Chicks
For art class today you are going to draw a spring chick! Below you can see four examples of this project and it also gives you something to look at so you know how to draw your chick 🙂
1.) Start with a plain piece of white paper and using a pencil, draw a nice big hill in the middle of the paper.
2.) Close the hill by drawing a straight line to connect each side.
3.) Give your chick two legs and 3 little straight line toes.
4.) For the eyes, make two dots or draw two circles that you color in black.
5.) Make the wings by drawing a curved line, like a half a circle, on each side of the body.
6.) Make a pointy end up triangle for the beak in the middle of the body and then draw another triangle pointing down so it looks like your spring chick is singing with his or her mouth wide open!
7.) Lastly, add some extra details like a small heart on one side for the tail feathers and a V at the top to look like more feathers sticking up on the head. Use a black pen or marker to trace over all of your pencil lines and then use watercolor paints (if you have them), or crayon, markers, or colored pencils to color in the background and your spring chick!
Lesson for 4/16, Living in a Fish Bowl
For art this week you are going to be imagining what kinds of fish, (or other kinds of animals that live in the water), would be in this fish bowl! Ask for help in printing the fish bowl template found on this page. You’ll need to use your imaginations to come up with what would live in your fish bowl. Use colored pencils, paints, crayons, or markers to draw and color everything in. I can’t wait to see what you all make!
