Introduction: | Motivate students to pebble paint by first reading the story, Sylvester and the Magic Pebble, by William Steig. After finishing the story, show a few examples of pebble painting. |
Development: | Question students to stimulate discussion by asking: How do you think pebble painting is done? What do you think the finished product will look like when completed? What happens when two primary colors are mixed? What will happen if all three colors are mixed? |
Practice: | Students will first choose three different sized pebbles. Students will tape the paper to the box. Each student will dip two pebbles into the two colors they choose. Placing the pebbles on the paper, students will now start to shake or tilt the box creating the design. After pebble painting with the two colors are completed, students will now use all three primary colors and pebbles to paint their second painting. Once students are finished, there will be a designated drying place for all pebble paintings. Finally, students will clean up their area and put away all materials used. |
