Learning Experience Plan

Developmentally
Appropriate Practices

1) DAP This art activity is developmentally appropriate because most children are
interested in creating art in their own way.
2) Culture There are many different types of artists around the world so no matter
where a child is from they are most likely aware of some type of artist or artwork.
Children have also learned about different artists during class.
3) Child Choice Children have the opportunity to create their own works, they may
either paste their picture on their art or they can draw a picture in place of it.
Children are also allowed to choose their own colors to paint with.

Differentiation

Reference

4) Opportunities for Relationship Building Children may converse with their

peers during their art process. Children also have the opportunity to show their
artwork to the teacher.
Children who lose interest early on in the project or finish their art quickly will be
provided with activities to keep the preoccupied while their classmates finish.
