1st Grade | Froggy

First Grade’s
Froggy

Two of the standards in first grade art are:
- Use variations of lines, shapes, colors to express ideas
- Demonstrate use of overlapping to show space
In first grade we talk about what lines, shapes, and colors are.  We discuss what they look like and how to use them to make a work of art.  Applying what we learned from previous lessons involving line, shape, and color, we made frogs to celebrate the spring season!  To go along with this lesson we read Froggy’s Sleepover  by Jonathan London. 

Each student began by making their own freehand sketch of a frogs head.  They then drew feet and cut out all parts.  A fun part of this lesson is making the accordion legs!  After they finished attaching all feet and legs, they completed their frogs with googly eyes and a mouth of their choice.   In addition to all we learned in this lesson, it was also great practice using our scissors and glue!

See all the completed Froggy's below!


Aren't they SO cute!
