Introduction

As teachers with over 20 years of experience each, we have

always believed that a hands-on, creative, and balanced approach to

instruction is the most successful framework for developing skills in

young children. As both parents and educators we know that involving

children in the arts and providing children with ample opportunity to

create while using a wide variety of media; provides a strong, research

based foundation for academic development.

We have enjoyed and practiced techniques we have learned from

educational leaders such as Mona Brookes and Betty Edwards.

However, with a movement in recent years to teach to standardized

tests, many teachers have felt pressured to stop providing the

opportunity to explore the arts. We know that research has shown

time and time again, the importance of art in the educational process.

Children who are exposed to music and art instruction do much better

in reading, math, and science. They develop a greater curiosity about,

understanding of, and appreciation for the subject matter being

taught. We know that providing arts in education stimulates better

behavior, personal esteem, and socialization skills. So why do so many

educators discount it‟s importance and so many children stop drawing

by second grade? The truth is that whole learning is a combination of

current research, sound philosophy, and good teaching practice!

For many years we have been teaching, presenting, and publishing

materials that integrate music, art, movement, and literature across

the curriculum. Even though we now have a wealth of quality materials

and training available to us, as teachers we are always learning and

modifying our educational practice and supplementing district adopted

curriculum. The activities in this book are not intended to replace core

instruction, but rather to enhance and extend the concepts taught

within this practice. These patterns may be used as independent

practice and are applicable to both school and home learning.

We sincerely hope you will find these activities and patterns

complimentary to your instructional program and that the children you

teach will find joy and success in reading, writing, and drawing!


How to Use This Book

We have found that directed drawing is best taught using the

following approach:

1. First read aloud a quality piece of literature to entice student

interest and enhance learning. We have provided literature

suggestions to get you started.

2. Build vocabulary and understanding by incorporating poetry,

phonemic awareness, and word play in the process as well.

Each drawing is accompanied by a simple rhyme. These rhymes

may lend themselves to a piggy-back tune for singing and it is

always fun to incorporate movement as well.

3. Model and discuss the process for students by drawing each

object in a step-by-step manner with the children. After doing

this several times as a class and the process has been learned,

the drawings may be done independently simply by following

the step-by-step pictorial directions provided. We have used

directed drawing cards successfully during center time.

4. Extend the learning process by incorporating different forms

of media in the completion of each art piece. Students may

color, paint, and embellish their drawings. We have listed

several ideas for you to consider besides coloring the drawing

with crayons. You may choose to try one of these alternatives

to provide additional experiences.

5. It is important to provide opportunity for students to revisit

the drawing process independently in follow-up activities such

as a writing extension. We have provided three drawing

frames to choose from and two of these have space provided

for writing extensions.


Table of Contents

one of the additional art suggestions listed in each section.

The Cow

Literature Suggestions

1. Click Clack Moo: Cows That Type by Doreen Cronin

2. Cows in the Kitchen by June Crebbin

3. Two Cool Cows by Toby Sped

4. Cock-a-Doodle-Moo by Bernard Most

5. Sakes Alive! A Cattle Drive by Karma Wilson

6. Farmer Peepers and His Missing Milk Cows by Katy Duffield

Rhyme

Cows give milk, cows say, “moo”.

They graze in the field and chew, chew, chew.

Writing Extension

Pretend you live on a farm and one day something unusual

happened as you milked the cow. Write a creative tale about

what happened.

Art Tips

1. Draw and outline the cow. With a Q-tip or fingertip, lightly

shade the edges of the drawing to indicate shading. Color in

the cow‟s spots, black or brown. It could be fun to use unusual

colors when coloring the cow. It could be a pink or purple cow

and the inspiration for a story.

2. After completing the drawing, consider completing a farm

scene. Use a small paintbrush to dry brush grass in a field.

Mix various shades of green and yellow for more depth.

bits of feathers or even polyester batting to the chick.

2. Make the chick “hatch” by cutting a white construction paper

oval that is large enough to cover the chick, cutting a zigzag

line across the middle, and hinging the two pieces with a brad.

Place the chick behind the egg and open it slowly to “hatch”

the chick.

white for fun.

painting, students may also color water plants, bugs, frogs, or

fish with crayon. Then paint the water using the blue paint

that has been well-diluted.

2. Ducks don‟t mind the rain. Have students draw the duck

holding an umbrella. Then use an eye dropper and diluted

blue paint to drop “raindrops” on the composition.
