1st Grade Art Lesson Murakami Flowers
Here is a great lesson to teach children in the spring. Takashi Murakami is a contemporary Japanese artist who is known for his sculptures and paintings as well as commercial media. Children love his art as many of them look cartoonish.
This lesson is based on his Flowers with Smiley Faces.
Students started their flowers by making a circle in the middle (they could trace the lid of their glue sticks if they wanted) of a 12" x 9" piece of drawing paper. The next step was to draw 12 lines around the circle making sure to space them evenly. The last step was to draw arches to connect the lines.
Students colored their flowers with neon sharpies (they love these!) and traced the lines with a black marker.
The last steps were to cut them out, assemble them on construction paper, glue and draw stems coming out of the circles.
Love!!!
