Beginner Level
In this one-time class, we will draw animals using the shape of our hand!  By positioning our hand in various ways and tracing it, we will draw several different animals, discuss fun facts, and learn about animal classification.  First, we will observe and discuss photos of real life animals as well as examples of animal hand drawings for inspiration.  Next, we will explore fun facts about the animals and their classification.  We will position our hand in various ways and trace it, adding details to create the different animals.  Lastly, we will engage in a positive discussion, strengthening communication as well as critical thinking skills.

Learning Goals

This lesson provides many positive learning outcomes, including the elements of art, positive communication, and critical thinking skills.  By creating the outlines of their hand, the learners are utilizing the art element of shape.  By learning about the elements of art, they are able to gain a deeper understanding of how they provide the building blocks of art, as well as our world around us.  Other learning outcomes include positive communication and critical thinking skills.  Group discussion during the presentation and activity promotes positive communication, as does sharing the artworks in the concluding discussion.  Additionally, the learners will utilize critical thinking skills by applying, analyzing and synthesizing their prior knowledge and experiences into the class discussion as well as into the artwork they create.  The concluding discussion promotes positive communication, while also supporting other academic subjects, making this lesson a well-rounded, creative learning experience.

My name is Kim, and I am a dedicated educator interested in providing an enriching educational experience for your student(s).  I graduated from the University of Georgia with a Master of Education in Early Childhood Education, a Bachelor of Fine Arts in both Art Education and Arts/Crafts (Ceramics), and I hold a Georgia Educator Certificate (T5) in Art (P-12).  I specialize in Art Education but have taught core academic classes as well.  I have over 25 years of experience in public, charter, and private schools, as well as homeschool and online education.  Given my range of experience teaching students of various ages and ability levels, I have a well-rounded view of education.  I pride myself on the ability to adapt to many different learning styles and curricula, making me highly responsive to the individual needs of each child while fostering each child’s physical, social, and intellectual development.  I am versatile enough to suit whatever educational needs you may have in whatever format may be best suited to facilitate your students’ changing needs and goals.

My enthusiasm and passion for education have given me the ability to demonstrate effective classroom management strategies while maintaining a fun and respectful learning environment.  I possess strong organizational and communication skills that allow me to work effectively with students, parents, staff and the community.  I am patient and caring, and I provide a safe, prepared environment in which students can learn in a nurturing and positive manner.  I strongly believe that each student must be given the time and individualized attention they deserve.
