I started out by reading a book that included all the colors of the rainbow. As we went through the books, the children worked on identifying their colors. When we went over a color, we would pull that color of tissue paper out.
I put them in Rainbow order. One of my favorite acronyms: ROY G BIV
My co-teacher and I handed the colors out to the 2s and let them tear them into little pieces, using the fine motor skills. We ended up with a pile of beautiful colors.
We gave the children glue and blue paper and had them go at it. Look at our results. They are truly beautiful!
Product art vs. process art:
Product based art includes art activities and lessons that will have a specific finished result. These types of projects often look very similar from child to child and do not encourage creativity or artistic exploration.
Process art: These types of art activities should be child centered, open ended, and explorative in nature. In creating specific objectives for processed based art lessons words such as "explore", "experiment with", and "discover" should come into play.
We do process art in my room. Unfortunately, once they move out of my room, into the next classroom, they do a lot of product art. Which looks awesome, but all the same. Once the move to the classroom after that though, they do process art again.
