Shape Art Book, Art Lessons

This Shape Art Book is a set of shape, color, line and pattern lessons that come together into an imaginative art book for Pre-K and Kindergarten students. It is a gentle introduction to art that teaches young students to draw, mix their own colors and create color tints.

Students also use their imagination to create shape creatures, shape worlds and pattern and shape mandalas. Lesson plans for each page of the booklet are included, which makes it a good choice for sub plans.

Students write their name on the title page and color the image as a hook, and you can ask them to wonder what they might learn from it. If you prefer not to use a book format, photocopy each handout with its lesson plan and have students write their names on the back.
