Two out of five of my 3rd grade classes finished up their winter mugs today in art!! —(3B and 3S at Amvet)
This lesson incorporates 5 of the 7 Elements of Art- (line, shape, color, texture, and form), as well as perspective, and one of the Principles of Art “variety”!
Read below for more info. on how we created these beauties!!
AWESOME JOB EVERYONE!!! 😀 They will ALL be going up on the wall SOON!!
This was a 4 day art lesson. Day 1 Students drew 2 different patterns on 9×12” heavy weight tagboard in pencil. A line was created to divide the patterns and create a wall and a table.
They then either traced over their lines or colored in shapes with oil pastels.
On a smaller sheet (9” x 4.5” ) of heavy weight tagboard, they created patterns and designs for their mug and traced with oil pastels.
Day 2- students finished coloring with oil pastels
Day 3- students painted their 2 papers with watercolors, creating an oil pastel resist. They also painted a small piece of tag (3” x 4.5”) for their mug’s handle.
Day 4- Students assembled their pieces together! They first flipped the mug paper over and folded back the ends, creating 2 flaps. Then they glued the flaps down to their background papers as they curved their mug paper creating a three-dimensional mug. They drew the handles by drawing the letter C on the back of the painted 3” x 4.5” papers, cut the C shape out and glued into place. The final touch was adding a small amount of polyester batting to the mug for steam!!

I really like this lesson and will try it out with my 2nd graders. You’ll see the results either on my blog or via Pinterest – I’ll give you a shout out. I very much appreciate your videos – you sure do invest a lot of time and thought into them. They are very well done. How much batting do you think I would need for 4 classes of 2nd graders? Thanks, Mollie!
Hi Laura! Thanks so much for your nice comment! I would think 1 large bag (like the size of a king size pillow) of stuffing (poly-fill) would do the trick! I only had 2 3rd grade classes of 25 kids finish so far, and it barely made a dent! Can’t wait to see how they come out! Thanks so much too for the kind words about my videos! I really appreciate it! 😊
