This Monster in My Closet art lesson has been one of my students' absolute favorites over the years! A perfect lesson for drawing creativity out of even the most hesitant young artists. With a focus on line, shape, and texture your students will be engaged the entire time they are creating!

The 3rd grade is just finishing up this lesson on Radial Symmetry. In their classroom, they learned about symmetry so we are taking that information and using it in art. 1. The students first trace a...

This is a lesson I finished up the last school year with and here we are again! :) The only difference is that I've decided to make this exclusively my 3rd grade paper sculpture project (it gives the younger ones something to get really excited about)!
