Art Lesson: A is for Art!

Objective:

Today, we’re going to explore the wonderful world of art while learning about the letter 'A'! We'll use our creativity to make an art project that starts with the letter 'A'.

Introduction: The Art Adventure!

Setting the Stage

Gather around, artists! Today, we are going to go on a magical adventure through the alphabet right to the letter A. Who can guess what we might find starting with A? Let’s think together!

Engaging Questions

• Can anyone tell me which art supplies start with ‘A’?
• What do you think about A is for Apple, can we create an art piece about an apple?

Activity: Story Time

To kick off our lesson, let’s read a short story about A. Here’s an exciting tale about Annie the Artist:

"Once upon a time, there was a little girl named Annie who loved to paint everything she saw – apples, animals, and even the amazing sky! One sunny day, Annie discovered a magic paintbrush that could bring her paintings to life. Can you imagine painting an apple that rolls away or a cat that dances?"
