First Grade Art Lesson 12

Geometric Shape Collage Part 1


Objective:

The students will cut several geometric shapes and fill each shape with colorful patterns.


Materials:

White paper, scissors, colored markers, glue sticks


Procedure:

Have the children name geometric shapes. Explain that we will be cutting geometric shapes today to create a collage. Begin by cutting many circles, squares, and/or triangles out of several sheets of paper. On each shape, use a marker to create a pattern. What is a pattern? Encourage the children to find patterns around the room to get ideas. Patterns are not difficult; they simply require your patience. Once all shapes are filled with interesting patterns, play with the pieces as though they were a puzzle to create an pleasing arrangement on a background piece of paper. When you have found the best arrangement, use your glue stick to put glue on the back of each shape and put it in place.


Conclusion:

Have the students tell what a pattern is. Have the students name the basic geometric shapes. Save the collages for the next lesson.
