This week my Kindergarten and 2nd grade classes both made "Under The Sea" projects. I got this great idea from
Mrs. Brown's Art Website.
I always have music playing as the students enter the Art room quietly. I love to find a great song that ties into the lesson. Sticking with the "Under The Sea" theme, I played the instrumental version of "Under The Sea" from Disney's Little Mermaid. I use Spotify to find and play music. I was really excited to also find the instrumental version of other songs from that movie which I played while the students were working independently on their Art work.
At the very end of class, I told the students if they cleaned up very quickly and nicely then I would reward them by playing the youtube video of the
Under The Sea song from Little Mermaid. Below is a picture of the class watching the short video.
Enjoy the pictures of the lesson (below)!

| Our Agenda for today was "Draw, Color, Paint, Clean Up, Watch Video". The tan paper on the bottom of the picture shows some sketching we did together as a class. I used the document camera to show how to draw different sea creatures, sea weed, and a seabed. After the students learned how to draw those things, I gave them white paper to use crayons to color those same sea creatures. They all had to also color a seabed and seaweed. Step three was to use blue water color paint to paint on top. (Painting was done on the next class period.) |
