Art works wonders in helping a child to express their views, show insight and understanding about the content. Building a global community is a key factor in helping 2nd and 3rd graders better understand their place in the world. By using the art materials listed and by decorating the class with a warm and friendly rug that provides visual geographical cues, my students will gravitate to learning and have fun in the process.
The project will consist of answering the question, "What is a land form? They will draw geographical vocabulary by creating an art display for numerous water and land formations such as volcanoes, delta, river, valley, isthmus, glaciers, etc. The students will use the water color and card stock paper to draw and paint several land forms found in different continents. They will then work in groups to cut out and paint their own continent using cardboard which will serve to create a map of the world and become the focal point of the bulletin board.
