Laugh, Paint, Create shares a simple lesson on the artistic style of Cezanne for preschoolers and achieves lovely results, take a look!

I was so happy with the results that my Kinders had with our Cezanne-inspired still life paintings, that I wanted to take it a step further with my 1st grade classes…. As I showed my 1st graders some of Cezanne’s still life paintings, we noticed that you could often see a dark edge around many...

Mrs. Art Teacher! K-8 art lessons and ideas

You need: scissors glue white drawing paper A1 size cardboard in Olympic colors compasses Start this lesson with the symbol of the Olympics: the colored rings. What do these rings mean? What colors do they have? How are they placed together? Ask one or two children to take the position of an athlete. What is the position of the legs, arms and body? Ask another student to show another position and discuss it again. This is a group work for five students. Every group gets a big white sheet, five sheets of colored cardboard (colors of the rings: black, yellow, red, blue, green) and at least five copies of the athlete. Step one: each group member cuts an Olympic ring, using compasses and scissors. Paste this five rings on the big white sheet. Look carefully which ring has to be pasted in front or back, and which ones have to be pasted through each other. Be sure the little cutting line is pasted underneath another ring. Step two: Every student takes a copy of the body and cuts every part of it. Then these bodyparts have to be pasted around, in, behind and in front of the Olympic rings.

If you're a regular reader you'd know that we love to paint. The freedom, the creativity, the expression, the colours and; the endless possibilities always keep us coming back for more... Today we tantalised an extra sense by painting with seasoning and spices. Ages: everyone! (M is 3 and I'm 10x that and loved it too ;)) Materials: Spices & Seasonings, water, paintbrush, paper. Before adding any water to the seasoning and spices we had a smell of them all and talked about what we could smell. According to Maddie, she could smell a lot of onion lol. Tip a small amount of each powder into a container (we're using some recycled plastic packaging here) The spices/seasonings that we used are: Top left across: Nutmeg, Tandoori Seasoning & Smoked Paprika Middle row from left: Mixed Spice, Ground Cinnamon & Chinese Five Spice Bottom row from left: Chicken Salt, Moroccan Seasoning & Turmeric Mix a small amount of water into each. (less water gives stronger colours) and you're ready to paint Not that Maddie ever needs encouragement to paint, but she was practically chomping at the bit to start this one! Best smelling picture she'd ever made Talk about any different textures you see. Some dissolve well and others are still a little grainy If you add a very small amount of water they can go pasty like this. She enjoyed painting with these ones the most. Mmmmmmmmmmmmm, smells good! She kept painting until she ran out. At the very end she splattered the seasoned/spiced paint for a different effect Ok- I had to have a go too. So fun and the colours reminded me of Autumn. Handy Tips: - Simplify this for younger children by letting them paint with their fingers. Just ensure that none of the seasonings or spices are too hot or spicy in case your little one just has to have a taste. You will also need to make sure they don't rub any in their eyes. - Extend this by challenging older kids to try to match the made up seasoning/spice paint to the original dried seasoning/spice. - Go here to have a look at a group art session by The Children's Art Group where they made spice paint using glue instead of water. - Mix it up by having your child come up with suggestions for their own sensory paint. Are there other pantry items that might work as well? - Use this time to talk about the different senses with your child as well as the different countries etc. that these spices and seasonings are most commonly used in. - Remember that sometimes children just create, they don't need it to be a specific item at the end. It could just be an abstract creation. Allow this and don't push them to think they must make something "real." Happy playing, Debs :)

I rarely use a lesson I find on-line without tweaking it a bit, but I recently found two still life lessons that I absolutely LOVE just the way they are. One is a bird's eye view of apples modeled after Matisse, which we are doing this week. It was done at Prospect School on Artsonia (here). I think the only thing we did differently was to "paint" the apples with a spoon instead of a brush. Today I began my lesson playing a game with the class. I hid an apple in my "mystery box" and kids tried to guess what was in the box by asking "yes" or "no" questions. Then we moved the Smartboard to take a look at apple still life paintings by Matisse, Cezanne and Renoir. The final slide showed this bird's eye still life of a plate of apples that the student's used as the visual for their own work. First, they traced around a foam plate to make their plate. We used the plastic lids to our paint portion cups to trace apples on the plate and to the side of the plate. Instead of using paintbrushes, I showed the students how we can use other tools to apply tempera paint -- in this case, the back of a plastic spoon. I asked that they swirl the spoon in a circular motion, trying to leave part of each apple white. We let these dry. As you can see above, we had an overflow of drying art and I hung some out in the patio (in the strong wind!!!) to dry. We had a little time at the end of class for me to read the kids an "apple" story. What a great day!! Next week, students will outline the plate with black crayon and then complete the plate and background with watercolors painting in a shadow for the plate and apples.
