Art

Short Lessons

 * Take a photo of each student and print it in black & white. Have the students color over their clothing to change it, then cut out their pictures and paste them into new scenes. [|This example is a scene from Cinderella].
 * Cut a photo in half and paste it to a larger sheet of paper. Have the students try to fill in what's missing. Of course [|you don't have to use photos you took yourself], but doing so makes it more personal.
 * Have students look for compositions that are busy - so busy that no one focal point can be identified - then print the photos and cut them into artist trading cards. For a longer lesson, have them combine the photos into collaged cards.

Longer Lessons

 * Instead of constructing flip book animations, have students take a photo of each drawing. Import the photos into iMovie or MovieMaker to create short video animations. [|This example is from an Art Club member].
 * Have children design sculptures and/or make clay models of them. Import students sketches into an editing program like Photoshop and let them add their creations to a familiar location. This works really well if you have an interactive white board available to show the finished product. This example [|place the art works in the school circle garden]

Every Day Lessons

 * Have the students photograph their artworks at the beginning (or end) of each class so that they can compare them and see their progress over time. After the project is done they could combine the photos to make time-lapse animations.
