Here's the lesson. I begin by reading to everyone on the classroom rug:
Then I demo how to use origami paper to create a heart. Each class gets a different color so that when finished I can create a rainbow display in the hallway. Color coding also makes it easier to pass back art to students later ; )
I draw a big example of how to draw a heart on the fold, and have students check with me before cutting to avoid wasting paper. When they have cut their heart they can create a design, drawing, or message for someone they love using black felt tip marker. If there's enough time I let them make a second one to bring home.
Sweet and simple!
Here's the beautiful display my volunteer made:
I love that you incorporate books into your art lessons! And this display is truly LOVEly!
