Symmetry Lesson Plan (Painting with Reflections)

Subject Concepts
Art Concepts
    Content Covered:
      Use of balance, straight, zig-zag, and differentiating lines
     Content Covered:
      Fine motor skills, color effects, use of imaginative thinking, use of pressure and composition

     State Standards & Objectives      (USOE/UEN):
a.      Standard 1 Communicating science Objective 2c: Connecting ideas with reasons (evidence). 
b.     Standard 3 Objective 1a: Describe, classify, and communicate observations about the motion of objects, e.g., straight, zigzag, circular, curved, back‐and‐forth, and fast or slow
   State Standards & Objectives (USOE/UEN):
Integrated Core Objective 2c: Develop manipulative skills (e.g., cut, glue, throw, catch, kick, strike).


      Learning Outcomes:
    The student will be able to…   
    Identify varying shapes and lines and their effect on art as a whole. They will also be able to identify differences between varying pressures with hand movement in creating art.
     Learning Outcomes:
    The student will be able to…
Develop their fine motor skills and be able to identify symmetry and symmetrical balance through an artistic exercise that emphasizes composition and hand movement.

    Lesson Plan

1.     Set out cups of water and trays of paint at each table before class.
2.     Get symmetrical powerpoint working to display images on common symmetry the kids are probably already familiar with.
3.     Go over powerpoint and explain symmetry, reflections, mirroring, etc,.
4.     Have each child fold paper in half.
5.     Display on overhead and example of you creating a composition using the paint dots.
6.     Instruct children on importance of thickness of dots, lines, squigglys, etc,.
7.     Have the kids drop shapes and dots.
8.     Demonstrate folding over paper and “smashing” so that the paint is transferred easily.
9.     Display work to dry and clean up.
10.  Take pictures of kid’s faces and explain next art project coming up!
