Lesson 5. The Cow Jumped over the Moon



1. We will be illustrating the cow jumping over the moon using shapes you already know.



2. You will need a white paper from your portfolio, your Sharpie, a crayon and something to trace a circle with.



3. Place your finder in the middle of the paper....then move it up just a little. This is where you will draw you cows head.

4. The cows head should be a trapezoid  shape.

5. Next draw you cows body, which can be a square or rectangle or a shape of your choosing. (Artist Choice)

6.  Now trace around your circle for the moon. 

7. On the moon you will need to add  the letter "C" for the craters. Your craters can be different sizes.

8. Now add your cow's legs, which can be rectangles or triangles or artist choice. Make sure your legs look like they are jumping over the moon. The front and back legs should be stretched in front and behind your cow. 

9. Go ahead and decorate your cow with spots, a tail, ears, eyes and a nose. You can add triangles for hooves. 

10. If you would like to add horns or an utter you can to do that, artist choice.

11. Before you color add a yellow ring on the outside of the moon to give it a glow.

12. Add some yellow stars in the sky.

13. Now color your picture anyway you choose.

14. Go back and color one side of the moon darker that the other. You can use the same color crayon to do this by just pushing harder on one side.

15. Color you craters in darker.

2nd Grade Fish Prints Collage In the Style of Eric Carle...






First we randomly painted a 12x18 inch 90# piece of white paper using 2 colors of tempera paint.
My tables are set up by color so I put out the corresponding color paint on each table. Students were able to more to the table color of their choice.




The paintings were put on the drying rack for next week.

The following week students flipped the paper over and drew a large fish of their own design. Then cut it out.


Make sure to save the cut out parts of the paper, we will be using them later in the project.



I put out the colors again the second week but this time I gave them sponge stamps the 5th grade had cut for one of their projects.
Students used the sponges to create designs on their fish.


I use to just paint on the tables but I learned to use over sized manila paper for place mats at 
It makes it easier to put the fish on the drying rack too.

Place the stamped fish on the drying rack for next week.

In the third rotation students use the scrap painted papers from the fish to create seaweed...



and layers on their fish.




Make sure to keep an eye on the sink.....
