| If the Dinosaurs Came Back Magnets, Second Grade Art Lesson |
As you all know, sometimes you get a donation for the art room that is too good to turn away, but at the same time leaves you wondering how on earth are you going to use this in your art room or try to incorporate it into your curriculum.
I was given a generous donation of a large roll of magnetic sheet. I decided to unroll the sheet and cut it into 5 x 5 inch squares. The magnet sheet is very thin, so I was able to do this very easily on the paper cutter.
Day 1
To begin this lesson I read the story, If the Dinosaurs Came Back by Bernard Most. We discussed the dinosaurs we saw in the book and the contrast of the pictures. To pump up this lesson and fit it better into my curriculum we also discussed the concept of cityscapes. Vocabulary Discussed: cityscape, horizon line, foreground, background, middle ground, overlapping.
Students were given some ideas and tips on how to create dinosaurs and how to place them in a modern day environment.
These projects turned out wonderful! Students were also super excited that it could be taken home and put on the fridge right away.
