Art
by THE K CREW
Crayons or Markers
White Copy Paper or Tracing Paper
When to Introduce:
I introduce this activity Second Semester in Kindergarten, but as soon as possible in 1st Grade.
How to Introduce:
Distribute the one picture from the 3-ring binder to each student.
Have students use crayons/markers from their personal supplies, but be sure to show them that you have some in the center for when they visit it.
Demonstrate how to use binder clips to secure the copy/tracing paper over the picture.
Demonstrate how to a picture to create a traced art picture.
Allow students time to trace their picture
Allow time for students to share their traced art picture with classmates.
Discuss center rules/expectations.
Add materials to the Fine Motor Literacy Corner and remind students that when they visit the corner they may do the activity.
Differentiating:
Have students write a simple story for their art picture.
Storage Ideas:
I mounted the pictures on cardstock and then slid them into page protectors.
The pictures are all stored in a 3-ringed binder.
Students open the rings to remove a picture if they need to, otherwise they work from the binder.
The white paper is stored in a poly-envelope that I bought from Target.
