In conjunction with art teachers and lecturers, Kids Art Works creates lesson plans suitable for Primary and Kindergarten children. To help ensure that the art produced by the children is of a high standard, we carefully choose techniques suited to our colour laser scanning process. We hope your teachers enjoy using them as much as we enjoyed developing them.

Feathered Friends

In this unit we will focus on birds and create art pieces for the Junior, Middle and Senior Primary grades.  We will explore how to create interesting patterns and combine collage and drawing work with a touch of printing.  This is a great unit to use if you are studying habitats and biodiversity, producing bold and colourful artworks.

Mosaic Design

This unit explores mosaic art by using three very different techniques; torn paper, cut paper tiles and Sgraffito. Colour theory is introduced, particularly the effects of using warm and cool colours. This fun unit creates stunning artworks

Tapa Design

This unit introduces Pacific Island Tapa art and includes three art techniques with many mathematical and design concepts such as positive and negative space; and symmetrical and asymmetrical design.

The Flower Unit

With Margaret Preston’s artwork as the inspiration, the children use several ‘oil pastel and dye’ techniques and viewfinders to explore areas in their sketches which have a strong composition. The children also practice using a window to simulate a light box.

Painted Collage

In this unit the children experiment with various tools and resources when applying paint, portraying various surfaces or objects – such as water and sky.  Once a collection of papers are made, the students can go on to compose their own imaginary scenes.

Dot Art

This Unit explores the dot art technique which originated from Western Desert ground paintings. Through this unit the children will develop some understanding and appreciation of Aboriginal artwork and its relationship to people, land and spirituality.

Cool Collage

This lesson plan utilises many wonderful coloured papers such as serviettes, tissue paper, and patterned wrapping papers. These papers are sometimes overlooked when creating art pieces, but they provide interesting shapes, colours and designs that children love working with.

The focus of this unit becomes centred on skills such as composition, design, arrangement of elements, selection of colours and materials, manipulation of materials and attachment techniques. Students delight in their work when choosing and arranging colours with shapes create interesting outcomes.

Buildings Galore

This is a great unit for students who like playing around with two dimensional and three dimensional shapes and experimenting with different techniques. We will create city landscapes out of newspaper and printed blocks. Students will look at reflections and silhouettes on marbled backgrounds. Younger students will take a closer look at the houses they live in and make a collage out of rubbings from their neighbourhood.

People in my World

Designed mainly for Early Childhood, this unit provides opportunities for children to produce stories and art works based on families and friends.  These significant relationships influence how children perceive themselves and their environment. While exploring and experimenting with different media and art processes, this unit supports a connection between home and the school setting.
