Andy Warhol Hand "Prints"

This is a great project for preschool, Pre-K, or adaptive art. it took about 3-4 hours to complete (broken up into 30 minute sessions). In my current school, I have 3 and 4 year olds. With 3 year olds, they needed help tracing and cutting out their hands. the 4 year olds had no problem! Some things we discussed and learned about were:
  • Colors
  • Tracing
  • Gluing
  • Cutting
  • Coloring (outlining and coloring without scribbling- and doing so in the same direction to cover the entire square)
  • What a "print is"
  • Who Andy Warhol was

Monarch Butterflies Paintings.... Again!

I came across this lesson idea in an Arts & Activities magazine a few years ago and have been implementing it ever since with my third graders. Here are some photos and a more detailed write up from last year. My students love learning about how the butterflies fly to Mexico.
