Lesson aligned with ELA Common Core "The Wild West"
Second graders compared and contrasted a variety of art depicting the west. We discussed how art can capture a moment in history or tell a story. Students learned how size and overlapping create the illusion of space in a piece of art. They drew three to five tepees and painted them with symbols to tell a story. Next they painted the background and were encouraged to experiment with the sky. We discussed how many different colors the sky can actually appear to us depending on time and weather.

I was a graphic designer for many years, and then decided to make the leap into art education. I taught elementary art for 8 years. Archives
