Lesson
title/topic
Feeling and Seeing the
World
Subject area Art
Date Week 8 Time 1 week Grade K/1
STANDARDS/OUTCOMES
1B. Use art material and tools safely and responsibly.
2A. Apply knowledge of materials, techniques, and processes to create artwork.
2C. Explore and understand prospective subject matter, ideas, and symbols for works of art.
5A. Explain how visual arts have inherent relationships to everyday life.
OBJECTIVES Through these learning activities, the student will be able to:
-Add visual texture to their art piece
-Observe how to see texture that cant be felt (implied texture)
-Identify various textures and describe them
-Create an image by rubbing textures
INSTRUCTION Teaching strategy: _______________________
Introduction/Instructional activities/Conclusion
Introduction: Students will be questioned about what texture is. We will discuss how various objects
feel (table, sweater, etc.).

Instruction: Students will be shown various pictures from art books, identifying how objects look
and feel (vase, cactus, cloud, stones, etc.). Students will observe a demonstration of rubbing
provided textures (cut cardboard, corrugated cardboard, hole punched paper, folded paper,
etc.) explaining how different levels in the cardboard and paper create a texture that you can
feel and see. They will then observe how to combine these textures to create a picture.

Conclusion: Students will begin working on their own pictures, combining the textures to create an
image, and being observed on their use of texture.
How this lesson provides for ASSESSMENT of student learning:
Pre-assessment
Students will be asked about what a texture is. After explaining a texture is how something feels, the
students will be directed toward different textures in the classroom (table, sweater, etc.) and they will
describe how the object feels (smooth, fluffy, soft, etc.).
Checking up
While students create the rubbings of texture in their own projects, they will be asked to discuss the
textures that they used and why they look that way. They will be asked to point out some other textures
that they may have noticed. They will also be observed to assure they are rubbing the textures rather
than just coloring with a crayon.
Post-assessment
Students will fill up their whole page with textures to create their own texture pictures. I will assure that
the students used the cardboard and textured papers to complete the rubbings rather than just coloring a
picture with crayons. The students will also receive questions about texture on their end of the year
exam.
How this lesson provides DIFFERENTIATION for the students in this class
Students are able to listen to the explanation of the project and well as observe the demonstration of
the rubbing. The students can see the texture on the object and explain how it feels. They can also
explain how something should feel based upon their observation. This lesson also allows the
students to feel textures for themselves, observing how to relate texture to how something feels.
RESOURCES NEEDED
Crayons, textured objects (corrugated cardboard, cut cardboard, hole-punched paper, folded paper, etc.),
paper, art books explaining the connection between how objects look and feel
REFLECTIVE ASSESSMENT of lesson and student success (To be written on back after lesson is taught)

The students grasped the idea of rubbing the crayon over texture to create a visible texture on
their paper. The students also quickly picked up on the idea of describing how an object looks
and feels. The students struggled with this concept at first, but the addition of the book and
explaining the texture they saw in photographs helped to solidify the implied textures they would
be working with. The students struggled with the idea of creating an image with their textures.
While they sufficiently practiced the rubbing, they did not use this idea to create a picture but
rather just filled the paper with random spots of texture. The students may have benefited from
extra emphasis on the creation of a picture with the textures provided. It may have helped to give
several examples of combining pictures to create an image.
