1st-Grade Art

The Lesson: Based on the children's book, "The Big Orange Splot" and the quote, "My house is me and I am it," the 1st-Grade students designed their idea of a house for which this statement could be true; adding the details that would make it personally-unique to them. Then students created a voice-recording describing the details of their "Dream House."

Lesson Objectives: Students can identify how stories in visual art and design teach us about each other and discuss the stories portrayed in a personal work of art (Visual Arts - 2020 Colorado Academic Standards, 2020).
