England: London Landmarks

This week, we will make art that shows some of the famous landmarks of London, England.  We will use lines, shapes, colors and patterns to create a drawing with collage details.  We will practice using lines to make something from real life, and we will practice our scissor skills as we cut out shapes from colorful paper.  

Sample Project by Ms. Ammons

Let's start by watching the "Are We There Yet" kids tour London in a short video.  Then, hear a read-aloud of the book The Queen's Hat, by Steve Antony.  As you watch and listen, be on the lookout for these London landmarks:  

Big Ben, Double-Decker Buses, The London Eye, Red Phone Booths, The Tower Bridge

Now, watch this video to do an art project with Ms. Ammons:
