Painting with Shapes and Colors

Dollard des Ormeaux Center for the Arts, 2018

This two-part lesson plan was taught to a group of 8 children aged 5-7 in the context of a Saturday morning painting class at the Dollard des Ormeaux Center for the Arts.

Dylan part 1

In Part One Learners used cutouts to paint shapes, creating an original composition. They learned about primary colors, line and shapes.

Lea part 2

In part two learners used cutouts again but this time blended promary colors to achieve secondary colors within their shapes. Rather than creating orginal compositions with the shapes, this time the objective was to use the shapes and colors to depict original figures.
