Lesson Plan for Nursery 1 - Cultural and Creative Arts - Colours Ii

### Lesson Plan for Cultural and Creative Arts (Nursery 1) #### Topic: Colours II --- #### Objective: - Students will be able to identify and name primary and secondary colors. - Students will understand how mixing primary colors creates secondary colors. - Students will create simple art projects using primary and secondary colors. --- #### Materials Needed: - Red, yellow, blue, green, orange, and purple colored paper or card stock - Paints (red, yellow, blue) - Paint brushes - Water cups - Mixing palettes or old plates - Aprons or old t-shirts (for protection) - Color flashcards - Crayons or markers - Large paper (construction paper or butcher paper) - Glue sticks - Safety scissors (for the teacher's use) --- #### Lesson Activities: 1. **Introduction (10 minutes):** - Greet the students and have them sit in a circle. - Introduce the topic by showing color flashcards (red, yellow, blue, green, orange, and purple). - Ask students if they remember the primary colors from the last lesson focused on colors (red, yellow, and blue). - Explain that today they will learn about mixing these colors to make new ones (secondary colors: green, orange, and purple). 2. **Color Identification (10 minutes):** - Show each primary color flashcard and ask the students to repeat the name of the color. - Show examples of objects in the classroom or pictures that match each primary color. - Do the same for secondary colors (green, orange, purple), asking if any students already know their names. 3. **Color Mixing Demonstration (15 minutes):** - Set up for painting. Ensure each student is wearing an apron or old t-shirt. - Using the paint, demonstrate mixing: - Red + Yellow = Orange - Blue + Yellow = Green - Red + Blue = Purple - Let the students see how the new colors are created by mixing the primary colors. 4. **Hands-On Activity (20 minutes):** - Provide each student with a mixing palette and small amounts of red, yellow, and blue paint. - Encourage them to mix the colors themselves to create orange, green, and purple. - After mixing, students can use their new colors to paint a simple picture (a rainbow, a fruit bowl, etc.). 5. **Art Collage Project (15 minutes):** - Hand out colored paper (red, yellow, blue, green, orange, purple). - Help students (teacher uses scissors if necessary) cut shapes from the colored papers. - Provide a large paper for each student to glue their colorful shapes onto, making a collage. - Discuss the colors used in their collages. 6. **Wrap-Up and Review (10 minutes):** - Gather the students back into a circle and review the primary and secondary colors. - Ask students to show their art and name the colors they used. - Praise their efforts and creativity. #### Assessment: - Observe students during the hands-on activity to see if they can correctly mix colors to form new ones. - Give positive feedback for correct color identification during the review. - Display students' art around the classroom as a form of positive reinforcement. --- #### Homework (Optional for this age group): - Send home a simple coloring sheet with various objects, asking children to color them using primary and secondary colors (guide parents to support this). - Encourage parents to discuss colors with their children at home, pointing out various objects in different colors. --- This lesson plan ensures an interactive, engaging learning experience for young students, rooted in hands-on activities and visual learning.
