In this 3rd-grade art lesson, students will explore the concepts of texture and pattern through drawing techniques. The session begins with a discussion about textures and patterns, accompanied by a demonstration on creating texture rubbings using various textured items. Students will then practice drawing different patterns with pencils.
During the independent activity, students will create a mixed media drawing that incorporates both the texture rubbings and patterns they have developed, inspired by a chosen theme. They are encouraged to use colored pencils, crayons, or markers to enhance their artwork and emphasize the textures and patterns.
To conclude the lesson, students will share their creations with the class, reflecting on how they used textures and patterns in their work. The lesson will be assessed based on creativity and the effective use of textures and patterns in their compositions. Extensions may include creating a classroom display of artwork or introducing more advanced techniques in future lessons.
