Visual Art

|Year level: |Lesson duration: |

|Prep (AusVELS- Foundation level) |60 minutes |

| |Title of lesson: |

| |Making a Jolly Olly Octopus |

| |Learning Outcomes and specific purpose: |

| |Focus/ Objectives |

| |As this is a visual art integrated lesson, the focus will be on the theme of animals, in particular sea animals like featured in the book, Jolly |

| |Olly Octopus. The art activity will involve students practising their fine motor skills, when cutting, pasting and constructing their own Jolly |

| |Olly Octopus. This integrated visual art lesson will also incorporate literacy, maths and science aspects. |

| | |

| |AusVELS Learning Focus |

| |Creating and Making: ‘Students respond to manipulating materials and constructing with their hands. They begin to select, arrange and make choices |

| |about ways of using art elements, principles, materials and equipment.’ |

| | |

| |Design, Creativity and Technology: ‘Students explore products and learn that materials can be recycled and reused to produce new products. They |

| |develop skills in the safe use of basic tools and equipment, such as safety scissors, to cut, join, shape, mix and follow instructions to construct|

| |simple products or models.’ |

| | |

| |English: ‘Students identify connections between texts and their personal experience. They read short predictable texts with familiar vocabulary and|

| |supportive images. They listen and identify rhyme, letter patterns and sounds in words.’ |

| | |

| |Mathematics: ‘In maths number, students connect number names and numerals with sets up to 20.’ |

| |(AusVELS, 2013) |

| |Prerequisite knowledge and/or links to previous/future lessons: |

| |Students have previously learnt how to use scissors and glue sticks. This lesson will also links to past and future visual art lessons in which |

| |students will be required to make selections and choices about materials etc. |
