"Good morning, everyone! Today we’re going to create something special for Mother's Day! This is a chance for you to express your feelings and appreciation through art.
So, let’s start by discussing what Mother's Day means to you. What are some symbols or themes you associate with mothers?
[Pause for responses]
"Great! Some common symbols include flowers, hearts, and love. Let’s think about these as we get ready to create our own artworks. Remember, there are no right or wrong answers—just your personal touch!"
"Now, I want you to take out your notebooks. For the next ten minutes, I’d like you to brainstorm ideas for your Mother's Day artwork. Think about what message you want to convey and how you can use art to express that.
Feel free to jot down any words, sketches, or inspiration that comes to mind.
[Give students about 10 minutes to brainstorm]
"Okay, time’s up! I hope you’ve got a lot of great ideas. Let’s move on to our next step."
"Now, I’d like you to form groups of four. In your groups, please share your ideas from your notebooks.
As you discuss, I want you to create a collective mind map on a large sheet of paper.
This mind map should represent all the ideas you collectively come up with. Use different colors for each idea, and feel free to include drawings or symbols.
You have 15 minutes for this activity. Remember to listen to each other and build on your partners' ideas!"
[Allow students to work in groups]
"Alright everyone, let’s wrap up our group discussions! I hope you had a chance to share and be inspired by one another. Now, you'll get a chance to work on your individual artworks!"
"Now for the fun part! You will begin creating your individual Mother's Day cards or artworks using the materials provided.
Here are some materials you can use: blank card stock, markers, colored pencils, and watercolors. There are also some craft supplies like glitter, stickers, and ribbons to add that extra personal touch.
You have 15 minutes to create your artwork. Remember to think about the ideas you’ve discussed in your groups and use the techniques you’ve learned in previous lessons.
Let’s get started!"
[Monitor the students as they work]
"Let’s take a moment to reflect on what we’ve created. Please return to your groups, and I want you to discuss your artworks.
What techniques did you use? How did your ideas evolve from the brainstorming and collaboration?
You have five minutes to share your thoughts and provide positive feedback to each other!"
[Facilitate the discussions]
"Fantastic! I love hearing about the different approaches you’ve taken. You all have such unique ideas!"
"It's time to clean up our work areas. Please put away any materials you’ve used and tidy up your space.
Once you’re done cleaning, let’s talk about your homework. If you weren’t able to finish your artwork today, I want you to complete it at home and bring it in next class.
Remember, your artworks will be collected, and I’ll check for completion, but you won’t need to present them in front of the class.
Thank you all for your hard work today, and Happy Mother’s Day to all the amazing moms out there!"
