Lesson aligned with ELA Common Core “The Amazing Animal World”
This was a big project for first grade and they were very successful! Students used 12 x 18 white paper folded to make six squares. They painted the primary colors, then mixed and painted their secondary colors. They experimented with using white oil pastel under the paint as well as adding texture with scrapers as they painted. Students traced circles in each painted block and went crazy adding all sorts of lines around the circle to add texture. Lots of cutting practice for each circle and then glued them in color wheel order. They added details with the left over paper and drew background details with a black marker. The caterpillars were a great hit!
