Solar System: In the second half of the school year first graders will learn about the Solar System, as such I decided to do an art project based on space to give them an introduction to what one can see through a telescope and introduce them to some new vocabulary. Students learned how to make a resist and were instructed to create their own Solar System that could be seen through a telescope using different objects they had learned about like rockets, comets, stars, planets, and more.

Paul Klee: Similar to Kindergarten, I introduced the students to Paul Klee through the art piece, "Park Bei Lu." The students practiced outlining the different types of lines they drew and colored in the organic shapes that they created. The practiced using the primary and secondary colors that they had learned about in the beginning of the year. The students took turns in class describing their favorite type of lines to make on paper.
