This is your project and lesson guide for 3rd grade Memoria Press curriculum. It includes 14 projects each to be completed in a 30-45 minute lesson with about 1-15 students. You can easily use this book at home with one or a few children--no problem. A materials list is at the front of the book and includes pretty common household art supplies like white paper, construction paper, scissors, brushes, glue and paints. A few items you will also need are butcher paper, colored chalk, decoupage glue, glow in the dark paint, a hole puncher, wood skewers and yarn. The goal is to build a general understanding of color theory, basic art techniques, and some art history that will reinforce your MP curriculum. All you need to know as the teacher is right there on the lesson page for you. You are told what to say and given the answers to questions you will ask the students. Easy-peasy even for the non-artiste instructor! In the back are some reproducible templates to use in the activities, followed by short quizzes over the lesson content. These are well organized lessons that will be a peach to implement. Specific books mentioned in the lessons are Charlotte's Web and The Moffats. 75pp, sc ~ Sara
Creating Art: Lessons & Projects for the Grammar Stage | Memoria Press
Description
Creating Art covers general color theory, basic art techniques, and a beginning knowledge of early art history and includes quizzes to assess mastery. Throughout the course, students will create Mesopotamian and Egyptian art, portraits, landscapes, still life, and pieces of art that relate to literature and science.
This guide works with approximately 10-15 students and also for individual use. Each lesson lasts about 30-45 minutes long, and builds on a foundation from which students should be able to refer to and apply to future lessons. The goal of Creating Art is to build an understanding of general color theory and basic art techniques, as well as a beginning knowledge of early art history, and a reinforcement of the Memoria Press Third Grade Curriculum. This guide is particularly beneficial when class discussions and explanations include course terms.
Each class and/or student works at various paces, thus you as the teacher must adjust the pace and time given to each lesson to that which suits your circumstance. Keep in mind the following factors: class size, number of meetings within the week or month, time allowed for projects, lectures, and quizzes. The quizzes are optional but allow you to develop your own class structure, as well as assess terms and understanding.
