1st graders are currently studying Asia so we made some panda bears in art class! I began the lesson by sharing a few interesting facts about them and then we watched a short educational Youtube clip about them. I also read the book Zen Shorts because it features a very wise panda bear. For the first day of the project students got a bright red paper for their background. Then, they were given a sheet of black paper to draw a big hill for their panda bears body. This was then glued down to the bottom of their red paper. Next, students cut a a large circle from a piece of white paper to glue down for their panda's head. A smaller piece of black paper was handed out to cut out half circles for their panda's ears. The next day students added black ovals for eye spots and eyeballs. A white tummy was added and then little black arms. A Sharpie was used to make black dots in the eyes and a mouth. The last day was used to make bamboo for their panda. Long strips of light green paper were glued to their background. They even got to add a smaller piece in the panda's hand if they wanted. Little dark green leaves were added and then a green oil pastel was used to draw lines on their bamboo.
