Students will draw pictures of jars filled with bugs.

By Laura Stuart-Smith [Laura is an art teacher at St. Joseph School in Sharon, PA]

Objectives:

Children will learn to look at the details of bugs and plants as they learn about symmetry and asymmetry.

What You Need:

  • large white paper
  • crayons (or pencil crayons or markers)
  • black markers
  • jar pattern (optional) Older children can do quite well drawing their own jar.

What You Do:

  1. Show children a variety of bug and plant drawings.
  2. Teach children to look at the bugs from the top (symmetric) and from the side (asymmetric).
  3. Have them draw a bug jar with pencil (younger children can use a pattern for this).
  4. Have children draw bugs and plants, and a bug setting in their bug jars.
  5. Next children go over pencil lines with black markers.
  6. Finish with each child coloring their project with crayons, pencil crayons or markers.
