WINTER KIDS video art lesson plan for posable figures suits grades 2-3
Winter Kids video art lesson plan for posable figures, suits grades 2-3, or older. This instructional video demonstrates, and supports students, to use the elements of SHAPE, LINE & TEXTURE in their artwork.
Use with mid elementary learners in a series of consecutive lessons. Encourages students to follow choice options and create their unique version of the figures demonstrated.
This lesson plan focuses on:
- Draw shapes to compose an image
- Combine separate parts in a variety of ways
- Create detail and texture with line
Create these cute water coloured figures of children dressed for winter, with your students. Learn about using shapes to structure a drawing, creating a whole, from separate parts, decorating and adding texture with types of line, and the technique of using water colour pencils.
Drawing guides have been included in this PDF for those that need it.
Teaching this lesson can be a meaningful art project for students whose learning connects to a Science topics focused on weather and the winter season (How The World Works - IB PYP). Or even link to a book character study.
Students can express their ideas through the clothing design, patterns, colour choices, possessions and pose of their figure. Extend further by creating original backgrounds. Also makes a great extension for a shared picture book.
