Welcome to Art Class: All About Me!

Introduction to the Lesson

🎨 Today, we are going to explore a very special topic: All About Me! 🌟 This lesson is all about YOU and using your creativity to express who you are through art. We will learn how to tell our own stories by creating our very own 'All About Me' collage!

The Magic of Self-Expression

Before we start, let's take a moment to think about what makes each of us unique. Is it your smile? Your favorite color? The hobbies you love? We all have different things that make us who we are!

Activity: Share Your Favorites

Let's gather in a circle and share one thing about ourselves. It could be your favorite food, an animal you love, or even what you like to do in your free time!

• Question to ask:
  • "What is your favorite color, and why?"
  • "What do you love to do for fun?"

Getting Creative: Your Collage!

What You Will Need:

• Different colored paper
• Scissors (safety scissors for little hands!)
• Glue sticks
• Magazines and picture cut-outs
• Markers and crayons

Steps to Create Your Collage:

1. Cut Out Pictures: Look through magazines and cut out images or words that represent you, your family, or things you love.

2. Choose Your Background: Pick a piece of colored paper as your background. This will be the canvas that shows off your personality!

3. Arrange and Glue: Before gluing, arrange the pictures and words on your background. Think about how you want to tell your story.

4. Decorate: Use markers and crayons to add your own drawings or to write your name and age!

5. Share Your Art: Once everyone has finished their collage, we'll sit together and share what we created! You can explain the story behind your collage and why you chose those items.
