Great beginning of year project for upper elementary (4th grade and up) and middle school students! This plaster project has everything to start a successful year in the classroom - high student engagement, multiple project variations to finish plaster colors wheels with different media, worksheets for off-task or disruptive students, plus step-by-step instructions with photos - to guarantee an excellent outcome for your students, even if you have never used plaster before. A bonus for this project is after students make their own color wheel, they can use it for the rest of the school year as they work on other art projects.
If you have not worked with plaster in the elementary classroom, don't worry! This lesson includes specific instructions and tips for successfully using plaster with your students. Also included is a guide for ordering plaster with a formula for determining how much material you need to order.
All of my lessons are cross-curricular and multi-disciplinary. This lesson includes specific ideas on embedding formative assessments and other core subjects in this project.
This project is in a PDF file and contains 18 pages. It includes:
