In this 45-minute preschool art lesson, children will engage in a creative collage project that emphasizes the exploration of textures and shapes. The session begins with an introduction where students are shown an example collage, prompting discussion about the materials and visual elements involved. After explaining the activity, children will have the opportunity to work independently, selecting various textured materials and colored construction paper to create their own unique collages.
Throughout the hands-on creation phase, educators will circulate to offer guidance and encouragement, fostering a creative atmosphere. Following the artistic process, students will gather to share their masterpieces with the group, articulating their choices and experiences during the activity. The lesson concludes with a clean-up session, teaching responsibility and respect for materials.
Assessment will focus on children's engagement, their ability to manipulate materials, and their verbal expression during the sharing. Extensions could include displaying the collages or introducing a new related activity, solidifying the foundational skills of artistic exploration and expression.
