This is a great lesson with so many parts...2nd Grade studied still lives and we had so much fun connecting to everyday life. We looked at various artwork that was either a still life or not and compared the artwork. Next I gave each table a vase, some flowers (fake), and a variety of fruits and veggies (from m kids play kitchen). I had the kids arrange a still life on their table a could of times to make sure everyone got a turn. After the last turn was had we drew the still life on the table with pencil. After the drawings were done we traced with a sharpie (of course). On the next class time we painted the still life. On the last day I cut their paper on the 2 inch and then 4 inch (10 inch x16inch paper). I let the kids pick a piece of colored construction paper and told them to figure out the puzzle before any gluing....when they were done I made sure they didn't forget the spacing between the pieces to give the window effect. This was really challenging for some but I found that all really loved the effort and were very patient for me to help. They look so wonderful hanging in the room.
love them! i'll have elena and the boys do that this week---at your cabin---so we can leave the perfect mess there and not at my house! ha ha!
