🎨 Creative Art Lesson Starter for Preschool/Nursery

Theme: Nature's Palette

Introduction

Begin your art lesson with a vibrant and inspiring introduction that captures young minds. Today's focus is on exploring the beautiful colours we see in nature!

Welcome and Warm-Up Activity

  1. Nature Colour Hunt
    Start by taking the children on a short adventure around the classroom or outdoor area, inviting them to observe the different colours they see in nature. You might ask them to shout out or point to things like:

    • The green leaves on trees 🌳
    • The blue sky ☀️
    • The vibrant flowers 🌸
  2. Discussion
    After the colour hunt, gather the children in a circle. Show them pictures of various flowers, trees, skies, and animals, asking them:

    • "What colours do you see?"
    • "How does this make you feel?" Allow them to express their thoughts and feelings about the colours and objects they observed.

Creative Connection

Now that the children are inspired by nature's colours, invite them to create their own Nature Colour Collage. Provide them with a variety of materials such as:

Instructions for the Collage

  1. Encourage each child to select their favourite colours and materials inspired by what they saw during the Nature Colour Hunt.
  2. Allow them to create their collage while you circulate, asking questions like:
    • "What made you choose those colours?"
    • "Can you tell me about your artwork?"

Conclusion

End the lesson by showcasing the children’s collages on a "Nature Gallery Wall." Let them take turns explaining their artwork to their peers, reinforcing the idea that art can be a beautiful expression of what they feel and see in the world around them.

Transition

Finally, wrap up by reminding the children that every colour in their artworks tells a story, just like every colour found in nature. With smiles and excitement, transition them into the next activity, whether it’s snack time or storytime, keeping the creative energy flowing!


This warm, engaging approach will not only kick off your art lesson with excitement but also foster observational skills, creativity, and communication among the children. Happy teaching! 🌈
