The Preps looked at the artwork of UK artist Clare Youngs to identify some of the ways she makes marks or patterns on paper for her animal collages. They also thought about how they could make those marks or shapes on paper. I demonstrated how to stamp with various implements and texture tools and they rotated around tables with paints in the primary colours.
They used their papers to cut out the shapes to make a dragonfly or butterfly collage. The dragonfly shapes were better suited to most Prep students. I needed to help the ones that chose to make the butterfly as they needed help to trace the different shaped wings in the correct orientation. (Of course I could’ve made a shape that was the same either way!) I have included the butterfly template on the lesson plan but I recommend it more for Year 1 or 2.
Prep /Foundation Lesson Plan aligned to Victorian Curriculum with learning intentions, success criteria, lesson activities and steps with photos, templates for dragonfly and butterfly to make on card for students to trace, reflection sheet and student examples.
