Building a Community
Students will learn about a variety of buildings in their community and what goes on in them, which will increase their vocabulary and their understanding of a community. Each student will create a building within the community paying particular attention to shapes like rectangles, circles, squares, and triangles which will increase their basic awareness of shapes. Color will then be introduced to the buildings and discussion of how they are linked in the community will result in a final class project of a community created with the connection of all the buildings displayed as a community down the hallway bulletin boards.
Materials:
Pencils, large drawing paper, images of buildings in page protector, names of buildings, precut shapes of triangles, rectangles, squares, and circles in various sizes. For second class period will also need black crayons. For third class period students will need tempera paint, water, brushes, newspaper on tables, paint shirts. For the fourth class period students will need tempera paint, water, brushes, newspaper on the tables, paint shirts, oil pastels, and glue sticks.
Learning Objectives:
This community project will reinforce learning in their other subjects as we are incorporating the idea of a community from the social studies area, we are incorporating the idea of shapes from the math area, we are increasing their vocabulary from the language arts area and we are beginning a cooperative project to combine all the art work together. On the artist side you are learning to create drawings using basic shapes, learning how to blend colors, learning how to add texture, and incorporating technology in drawing.
