Roosters Art Lesson
This lesson is perfect for K-3. Simple shapes and blending in this lesson make it a great review or introduction. ROOSTERS ART LESSON is a 2 day art lesson.
MATERIALS
Drawing paper, pencil & eraser, Sharpie or black marker, Crayons, Crayola Oil Pastels
**I used Craypas for years of teaching, but last year they were no longer available through my district (they’re available through BLICK). I went through few different brands trying to find something that worked well and was with in my budget.
Crayola oil pastels are my new fav!! They’re chunky, and not too soft. And pretty inexpensive compared to the other brands.
DIRECTIONS
This is lesson is a great one to start off the year. It’s an easy one! Reviewing circles and fitting shapes together. I start out with the drawing of the Rooster. Out line with sharpie… It really is magic how it makes the little ones color in the lines.
**A little trick to help out with circle making without having them trace… Use a paint cup lid and place it in the center of the paper and they draw a circle around it with out touching it 🙂 I never have them trace. I LOVE the wonky shapes from the little ones. I never want to loose that in the process of art making with them.
Color in the background with crayon. See above, I have broken pieces of crayon that I sort in to little cups. Visit my post on that – Crayon Organization.
Choose a color for the roosters body and color the head a different color. Then a color for the wing and tail. I discuss textures and “blending” for the tail feathers and wing. And finish up the details.
Once the rooster is done, I added details in the background with the oil pastels.
