Here is my tip for Fine Arts with young ones... EXPECTATION. What do I mean? Don't expect adult work from your 3 and 4 yeard olds just because you are teaching them about adult artists. It sounds easy enough, but I have witnessed many a teacher do half or most of the work, "just so it looks nicer." Don't fall into this trap! The lesson pack I have created includes many cut and paste options to help make everything look more finished. I also recommend framing preschool artwork to make things "nicer." To "frame" all you need is a sheet of paper larger than the project. Center the project and glue, tape, or staple together. Black works best! But other colors can be used as well.
And finally, just for my blog readers, I am including some further instructions not found on the teacherspayteachers FREE download. You can use this "Water Lily" download any way you want, but here are some tips. Have students paint a watery background onto white or blue paper. Use only cool colors, blues, greens, or purples. Once dry, have students color, cut, and paste the water lilies onto the painting. Display the student painting next to a poster of Monet's "Water Lilies."
