For next week, I am going to be teaching Kindergarten and Second Grade classes a lesson about Secondary Colors.
The students will create a collage using tissue paper that resembles Mains Aux Fleurs by Pablo Picasso. This tissue paper they use will only be that of the secondary colors.
Materials needed:
- Reproduction of Mains Aux Fleurs by Pablo Picasso
- Green, Violet and Orange Tissue Paper
- White Paper
- Crayons/Oil Pastels
- Scissors
- Glue
- IN ADDITION FOR SECOND GRADE:
- Watercolor paint
- Brushes
- Watercups
1. Briefly review what primary colors are with students.
2. Tell students what the secondary colors are and show them on screen.
3. Show students an example of a collage they are going to create during this project, and show how it is similar to Picasso’s painting.
4. Give students white paper and crayons/oil pastels.
5. The first thing students are going to do is trace their hand, wrist and part of forearm on white paper. Then, they are to use oil pastels or crayons to color it with the color of their skin.
6. Next, give them scissors and instruct them to cut their hand/arm out.
7. After this step, show students how to take their cutout hand shape and fold the knuckle joint on all fingers and thumb. Give them glue, and have them glue their hand down so it looks like their hand is going to hold flowers.
8. Next, give students green tissue paper and have them cut out stems for their flower. When they get the stems cut out, instruct them to glue them on their cutout hand so it looks like their hand is holding the stems.
9. For the next step for Kindergarten, give them green, violet and orange tissue paper. Have them cut or tear several shapes to make petals for their flowers, They will then glue the petals and create a flower.
10. For the next step for Second grade, give them white paper, watercolor paints and brushes. Before giving them tissue paper, have them make their own paper using the secondary colors of the paint, by painting on their white paper. Have them cut their petals shapes out from their painted paper, and then give them the secondary colors of tissue paper and have them cut their shapes out from that. Allow them to glue all their shapes down to create a flower.
11. At the end of the lesson, review with students what the secondary colors are and what a collage is.
