New Year's Art Lesson, Art Project for the New Year

This New Year's Art Lesson has students celebrate the new year with an oil pastel art piece featuring chipmunks. A star trace and cut-out sheet helps students with the stars in their design.

The lesson comes with a visual and text step-by-step (each step on its own page with a description), a rubric for marking, and a step-by-step how to draw the chipmunk worksheet so students can create the piece successfully. All of my art lessons are original ideas by Ms Artastic.

HOW TO USE IT

Look over the lesson plan for what to do and which materials you need, and gather them in advance. Read through the visual and text step-by-steps, and consider making a sample yourself so you are ready to help students. Photocopy the student handouts, such as the step-by-step draw and the rubric.

Print the poster sample in color and show it before the lesson as your hook. Then show the PDF on a projector or under a document camera for students to follow, or use it as your guide while you demonstrate. Every step has both a visual and a text description.
