This (first-time) lesson was to reinforce a bit of color theory with a third grade class (thanks Pinterest!). They are getting the hang of creating monochromatic artworks again, and this was their first time mixing their own tints and shades without my guidance. There was a lot of trial and error, where students were making the same shade over and over, so they had to figure out how to fix their "problem" of sorts without my help! I have never done it this way before, but it was very cool seeing them talk it out with their table-mates!
We also talked a little about abstract art. Before we started painting, the goal was to take a certain amount of painter's tape, and create the word "ART" on their paper in any way they could. I tried to really stay back and have them figure this out (though it was difficult for me to be so hands-off!). They loved pulling the tape off after the paint dried! I really like the results for a first-time Art lesson, and I think the kids really learned a lot, just by working through the challenges they encountered! Definitely will do this one again.
