🎨 Lesson Starter: All About Me! 🌈

Welcome to Our Creative Adventure!

Introduction

Hello, Little Artists! Today, we are going to start a colorful journey all about YOU! Everyone is unique and special, and we want to celebrate that in our art!

Objective

In this lesson, we will:

Discover what makes you, YOU!
Create a fun self-portrait using different art materials.
Share our portraits and learn about each other!

Let's Get Inspired! ✨

Storytime: "All About Me"

To kick off our lesson, let’s gather in a cozy circle and read a story about a character who learns what makes them unique. You can choose a book like "I Like Myself!" by Karen Beaumont or "Who Am I?" by Aileen Fischer. These stories highlight individuality and help us appreciate ourselves.

After reading, we can talk about:

What do you like about yourself?
What makes you feel special?
How do you see yourself in the world?

Fun Activity: My Favorite Colors! 🎨

Next, let’s explore colors! Hand out a variety of colorful paper, markers, and crayons. Ask the children to:

Choose their favorite colors that describe their personality or things they love.
Draw simple shapes or squiggles on their paper using those colors.
Share with a friend: “This is my happy color!” or “This color is like my favorite toy!”

Conclusion

Now, it’s time to begin creating our unique self-portraits! Remember, there is no right or wrong way to express yourself in art. Every picture is a reflection of you!

Let’s have fun and celebrate who we are! 🎉

Key Notes for Teachers:

Ensure a safe, inclusive space where every child feels valued.
Encourage sharing and listening to promote community among students.
Adapt the discussion and activities to suit the needs of your little artists.

Let’s get started! Grab your art supplies and let’s create something beautiful together! 🌟
