The Seasons

 Description- Our lesson started with talking about what we know about the seasons and their features. Having shared our thoughts on the topic, we watched a slideshow illustrating the features of each season. Then, having brainstormed a list of the various things you might observe during every season, we proceeded to drawing two trees on paper. We put tick marks on the paper and then folded it in half. Using a sample tree, we drew trees on both halves of the paper, either copying the model tree or making up our own. Afterward, having thought long and hard about how we would illustrate seasonal changes, we drew some additional features on each tree according to the season we had chosen. We then colored each tree, adding some bright colors. After that, we cut the paper into strips and stuck them alternately to another sheet of paper. We folded the paper like an accordion and glued it to the half-sheet of construction paper. Meanwhile, we watched a Magic School Bus video, which entertained us while we were engaged in coloring.

Extension Activity- One of the possible extension activities is a gallery walk, where students are offered an opportunity to view and analyze each other's pieces of artwork. As part of this activity, students can go on a walk through the classroom and examine the different seasons that their peers decided to depict. In addition to promoting student creativity, the gallery walk activity fosters appreciation of diversity in thinking and artistic expression. It can be followed by a writing activity, where students are asked to explain their personal choice and provide more details on their artistic decisions. For instance, students can be asked to write down their reasons for choosing two seasons and how they attempted to represent them artistically. The writing activity will contribute to students' reflections and help them better understand the connection between their ideas and visual art projects.
