Arts lesson plan (6th to 9th grade)

The hand-transforming Arts lesson plan aims to transform students into budding artists by exploring their creativity.

THEME: Transforming objects by hand

YEAR: 6th to 9th grade

GOALS:

• The student will use their imagination and creativity to transform one object into another through various drawings.

MATERIAL REQUIRED:

• An object exposed so that everyone can see clearly;
• A sheet of paper with 10 separations;
• Clipboard;
• Pencil.

INTRODUCTION:

Place the object at the front of the room and guide students to sit down with clipboard and paper in hand, make sure everyone can see it clearly.

This type of activity makes students exercise their creativity, however, many of them may have some difficulty when deciding on the new object. To make it easier, have students brainstorm with each other and discuss object shapes and other ways that it can be positioned, change position a few times, allow them to think and come back to the original position.

DEVELOPMENT:

1. Explain that in the first separation, each one must draw the object as they see it.
2. In the second separation they must change some item of the object to look like another, for example, if the object chosen is a toy soldier and the student wants the soldier to turn into a tree, they must change the arm to a branch.

1. In the other separations they will add and remove item by item, in the end the students will have a totally new object.
