Art Lesson: Cut-and-Glue Owls

$3.50

Intended for Grades K+

This is by FAR my favorite lesson to use towards the beginning of the school year with kindergarten. It combines so many skills and is wonderful to help you evaluate where your kids are as far as their technical skills and ability to follow directions.
This lesson includes thoroughly written teacher procedures and a simplified step-by-step handout.

I use this lesson to:
     • Introduce painting with watercolors in my classroom (we start with only one color so they can master procedures).
     • Evaluate my students ability to use scissors and glue and teach proper techniques if needed.
     • Fuse literacy into my lessons and introduce students to the idea of illustrators as artists.
     • Teach collage as an art technique.
     • Determine student's ability to sequence steps by utilizing visual clues.
     • Review students' knowledge of patterns and have them apply that content in their artwork.
     • Teach classroom procedures for setting up and cleaning up art materials (specifically using the drying rack, putting away dry work, painting supplies, getting out scissors, glue, etc.).
     • Evaluating students' understanding of directional words/relative positions (inside, outside, next to, in front of, behind, top, bottom, center, etc.). **Common Core Standard K.G.A.1

A ZIP file is a compressed folder containing multiple files. This type of file format allows you to download many files at once.

Before you can directly access the files, you'll need to "unzip" the file. No worries though, both Windows and Mac OSX are able to open and uncompress ZIP files easily without additional software (iPhones and iPads will require an additional app).

If your computer runs Microsoft Windows:

Right-click on the unopened ZIP folder.
Choose "Extract All" from the menu that opens.
Choose a destination. This is the place where you want to keep the unzipped files. You can choose "My Documents," for example.
Click "Extract."

If your computer runs Mac OSX:

Double-click the unopened ZIP — the file should extract automatically. If that doesn't work, hold down the control key and click the ZIP file icon. Choose "Open With" and then select "Archive Utility." The utility will extract the ZIP files, and you can find them in the same folder where you downloaded them.

Still having trouble?

If you're still having trouble getting your files to unzip, I recommend extracting the ZIP file online using one of these free websites:
