Dinosaur Unit 2/3 classes
The students in the 2/3 classes studied dinosaurs in their classrooms. We decided to continue the theme in art class. We made dinosaur "fossils" using home made dough and pressing objects down into it. Then painted the cooked dough. The kids also created a fantasy scene which showed dinosaurs in a city (of course now, we all know that dinosaurs were extinct by the time man was around....) But it was fun to see how the dinosaurs looked on that scale.
Students were instructed to create a city scene using only cut paper. They were then allowed to draw the dinosaur of their choice, cut it out, and put it into the paper world they had made. When they were finished, they all contributed to a class generated mural showing all kinds of dinosaurs roaming the Earth!
