| 1 | Introduction to Texture | 5 minutes | Introduce the concept of texture. Discuss examples of texture found in nature and art. |
| 2 | Texture Exploration | 10 minutes | Allow students to explore various textured materials placed around the classroom. |
| 3 | Printable Card Activity | 5 minutes | Distribute printable texture cards to each student. Instruct them to observe and fill in details about textures they find. |
| 4 | Creating an Art Piece | 8 minutes | Using the textures observed, students will create a simple collage using construction paper and materials provided. |
| 5 | Collecting and Checking Cards | 2 minutes | Randomly collect or check the students’ printable texture cards to assess understanding without presentations. |
| 6 | Conclusion and Reflection | 2 minutes | Briefly discuss what they learned about texture and the different textures they used in their artwork. |
Students will take home their texture artwork and write a short description (2-3 sentences) about the textures they included and how they made their choices. This will be submitted during the next class.
The teacher will evaluate student engagement during the activities, the completion of the printable cards, and the homework submission for understanding of texture.
"Good morning, class! Today, we are going to explore a wonderful concept in art called 'texture.' Can anyone tell me what they think texture means? (Pause for responses) That’s right! Texture is how something feels or looks like it would feel. It can be smooth, rough, soft, or hard.
Now, let’s think about some textures we can find in nature and in our environment! Can anyone give me an example of a texture found outside? (Encourage responses like 'bark of a tree' or 'soft grass') Great examples! Texture can be found everywhere, and it plays an important role in art. Artists use texture to make their work more interesting.”
"Alright! Next, we’re going to do a fun activity. I have placed a variety of textured materials around the classroom. You will have 10 minutes to explore these textures. Touch them, feel them, and really pay attention to how they feel.
You can find fabrics, sandpaper, leaves, and more! I want you to think about the different textures as you explore. Ready? Go ahead and start exploring! Remember to be gentle with the materials.”
"Attention, everyone! I hope you found some really interesting textures during your exploration. Now, I will hand out printable texture cards to each of you.
Your task is to observe the textures you explored and fill in the details on your cards. What did you feel? How would you describe those textures? You have 5 minutes. Let me see your best descriptive words! If you need help, just raise your hand!"
"Now that you’ve completed your printable cards, it’s time to get creative! Using the textures you just explored, you will each create a simple collage.
You will receive construction paper and a variety of textured materials to use. Think about which textures you want to include in your artwork, and how you can combine them into a piece. You have 8 minutes to create your collage. Let’s get started, and remember to have fun!”
"Time is up! Please finish up your collages. Now, I need you to pass me your printable texture cards. I will collect them randomly to see what you observed. Don’t worry; you don’t have to present them today. I will just check to see that you filled them out. Thank you!"
"Alright, everyone! I hope you all enjoyed our time together learning about texture. Let’s wrap up our lesson. Can anyone share what you learned about texture today? (Pause for responses)
Fantastic insights! Before we finish, remember that for homework, you're going to take your artwork home and write a short description about the textures you included and your choices.
I look forward to seeing your work and reading your reflections in our next class. Have a wonderful day!"
