Scissors Skills: Underwater World

This awesome, fun, and creative art lesson was created for Pre-K and Kinder students to help with benchmark skills like scissor usage, ability to follow lines and instructions, and hand/eye coordination.
Students will always see an example of what we will be creating before we start.  This is a step-by-step guided class and the instructor will be creating with the students.  This class models the "I do, you do" to help younger students with each step.
This lesson was originally taught to me when I was in elementary school and I adapted it when I was teaching Pre-K/Kinder art classes.  I am so excited to be offering this to Outschool students.

Students will be creating an Underwater World using construction paper and will use the layering technique. We will draw all pencil lines before cutting. Parents are welcome to sit with their student if needed.

Students must be able to use scissors and a pencil.
