Lesson
in using our imagination
In
this “imagination exercise”, first and second graders closed their eyes and
built an image in their mind of a friendly pet with an unusual shape, texture
and appendages. They then drew and colored it, and painted the background.
An exercise like this expands a child’s ability to produce many new
ideas (fluency) in different ways (flexibility).

Lesson
on observation – drawing trees
Using
observation, an important skill used in art and in
science, students viewed the shapes of various types of trees.
They looked at how the base of the tree is bigger and how the limbs
(biggest branches) spread out and upward. They learned about medium sized and
small branches.
They then drew and painted pictures of a tree and the sky of their
choice.
