1st Grade: Dino Art
1st graders listned to me read the book What if the Dinosaurs Came Back by Bernard Most. We looked for shapes in the illustrations. This is a really great book that is very imaginative. 1st Graders imagined what life would be like if dinosaurs came back and lived on earth in 2014. Students drew a setting with Sharpie marker on 12" x 18" paper. During the next art class, I did a step by step of a dinosaur with them. Student could draw a brontosaurus, a T-rex, or a Plesiosaurus. Students added line designs to their dinosaurs (which were done on colored paper). Students cut and glued them onto the background.
These came out very fun!
I photocopied some pages from the book to display in the hallway above student's work.
Also, the first 4 pieces below are Kinder. I did the same art with Kinder, except Kinder students drew dino body pieces sepearate on colored paper, cut and glued them to create a dino.

| This background was so fantastic, I took a pic before this student added his dinosaure. The completed version is above (blue t-rex). |
