Elementary [1st-5th] Lesson Plan

Art is ... Circle Patterns (Trees & Flowers)

Created on July 28, 2014 by Hope200

This is one lesson from a unit on Circles. The students will draw different patterns on circle trees and flowers that they draw themselves. I teach k-5 ELL students. I make open-ended worksheets so they can experience success in art and English.

    Just love this project. I plan on using it in my art room and incorporating gold markers and poms poms to add dimension.
    I like the science extension to it!
