Looking for some BC New Curriculum lessons that cover First Nations objectives?
Here is an easy, First Nations art project that is cross-curricular and covers four different objectives! Students will learn about the First Nations culture, a feature artist, Clarence Mills, and they will create a pop-out bear art project!
This project is CROSS-CURRICULAR!! It covers multiple objectives.
Science: Recognize First Peoples stories (including oral and written narratives), songs, and art, as ways to share knowledge.
Language Arts: Show awareness of how story in First Peoples cultures connects people to family and community - specifically teaching life knowledge through animal observations.
Art: To study traditional and contemporary Aboriginal arts and arts-making processes.
Application, Technology and Design: Ideating, making and sharing a way to make the bear image pop out of the plate.
Below is a beautiful book to read that helps to tie the lesson together:
Student will learn about the artist who created the graphic we will use for the art project: Clarence Mills!
Clarence is a famous for his totem poles. There are some great videos of him work below!
Then, students create their own pop-out art! They have to use their imagination and design skills to create a way for the image to pop out of the paper plate. Voila! ADST!!
You will need: 6" paper plates, felt markers, glue and paper to make the image pop-out!
