Lesson Plan: Elements of Art

Subject: Art

Grade Level: Reception / Kindergarten

Duration: 30 Minutes

Objective

Students will be introduced to the basic elements of art: line, shape, color, texture, and space. By the end of the lesson, students will be able to identify these elements in their surroundings and in artwork.

Materials Needed

• White drawing paper
• Crayons or markers
• Magazines (for collage)
• Scissors and glue
• Examples of art pieces that showcase the elements of art (printed images)
• Line, shape, color, texture, and space posters (optional)

Lesson Outline

1. Introduction to Elements of Art (5 minutes)

Begin the lesson by asking students what art means to them. Show them different examples of art while pointing out the elements:

• Line: Straight, curved, zigzag.
• Shape: Circle, square, triangle.
• Color: Primary colors (red, blue, yellow) and secondary colors (green, orange, purple).
• Texture: Rough, smooth, bumpy.
• Space: How the images are arranged and the area around the shapes.

2. Group Discussion (5 minutes)

Engage the students in a discussion about each element:

• Invite students to identify lines, shapes, and colors they see in the classroom.
• Ask questions like, "What shape is that window?" or "Can you find something that's rough?"

3. Activity: Create Your Own Art (15 minutes)

Students will create a collage that includes all five elements of art.

• Instructions:
  • Give each student a piece of white paper.
  • Instruct them to use crayons or markers to draw lines and shapes.
  • Afterward, let them cut out pictures from magazines that represent color, texture, and space.
  • Help them glue everything onto their paper, arranging it how they like.

4. Sharing Time (5 minutes)

Once students have completed their collages, allow each student to share their artwork with the class. Encourage them to explain which elements they used and where. This reinforces their understanding through verbal communication.

Conclusion

Wrap up the lesson by recapping the five elements of art. Highlight a few collages created by the students and point out the different elements discussed throughout the lesson.

Homework Assignment

Students will complete a simple homework task to reinforce the elements learned in class.

Homework Tasks:

1. Look around your home for three different examples of lines (e.g., stripes on a shirt, edge of a table).
2. Draw one large shape and color it in (such as a big circle or square).
3. Write or draw one example of something that has texture that you can feel (like a rough rock or a soft pillow).

Correct Answers:

1. Students may list items like:

   • The edge of a book.
   • The pattern on wallpaper.
   • The lines of a fence.

2. The shape can be any large shape that they draw, such as a big circle, and any color they choose.

3. For texture, students may choose examples like:

   • A piece of sandpaper for rough.
   • A soft stuffed animal for smooth.
   • A bumpy ball for texture.

Teacher's Note:

Encourage creativity and expression, while providing gentle guidance. The main goal is to make learning about the elements of art fun and engaging!
