6 Art Projects and Activities for Grade 3

6 Art Projects and Activities for Grade 3

Key Concepts

Nature Collage

A nature collage involves collecting natural materials like leaves, flowers, and twigs, and arranging them on a surface to create a picture. This activity helps students understand texture, color, and the beauty of the natural world.

Example: Think of a nature collage as a puzzle made of leaves and flowers. Each piece fits together to create a beautiful picture of a forest or a garden.

Finger Painting

Finger painting is an art form where students use their fingers to apply paint to a surface. This activity encourages creativity, sensory exploration, and the use of different colors and textures.

Example: Imagine finger painting as playing with mud pies. Each finger leaves a unique mark, and the colors mix together to create a vibrant and messy masterpiece.

Paper Mache Sculpture

Paper mache sculpture involves creating a form using paper strips and glue, then covering it with paint or other materials. This activity teaches students about three-dimensional art and the process of building and decorating a sculpture.

Example: Think of paper mache as building a sandcastle. You start with a base, add layers to shape it, and finally decorate it to make it look like a castle.

Watercolor Landscapes

Watercolor landscapes involve painting scenes of nature using watercolors. This activity helps students understand color blending, shading, and the representation of natural elements like trees, mountains, and rivers.

Example: Imagine watercolor landscapes as a map of a beautiful place. Each stroke of the brush adds details like trees, rivers, and mountains, creating a vivid and peaceful scene.

Handprint Art

Handprint art involves using handprints as the main element in a piece of art. This activity is fun and personal, allowing students to create unique designs and patterns using their own hands.

Example: Think of handprint art as a fingerprint. Each handprint is unique, and when used creatively, it can become a part of a bigger picture, like a tree with many leaves.

Recycled Art

Recycled art involves creating art using materials that would otherwise be thrown away, such as cardboard, plastic bottles, and old newspapers. This activity teaches students about sustainability and the creative use of everyday objects.

Example: Imagine recycled art as a treasure hunt. You find interesting items like bottle caps, cardboard boxes, and old magazines, and turn them into something new and beautiful, like a robot or a cityscape.
