Montessori Lessons, Part 4

The Finger Print Art Lesson I borrowed from my Art Education professor. Thanks Ann Marie!
This lesson required that the students use their imagination to find “things” in their fingerprint designs.
Materials:
- Construction paper
- Washable black ink
- Markers
- Pencils (optional)

Lesson Notes:
- Students were very careful instead in being carefree, when making the dots
- Had to work against connect the dots
- They enjoyed getting their fingers dirty-the washable ink, takes awhile to wash off apparently
Student's Work
The Butterfly Blots lesson was a lesson I made during my studies at Marywood. I wanted to blend inkblots with butterflies.
Materials:
- Construction paper
- Tempera paint
- Brushes
- Pictures of butterfly anatomy

Lesson Notes:
- Paint dried too fast, need students to use more paint
- Had older students as “helpers,” to prevent potential paint messes
- Next time I would definitely emphasize blotting thicker amounts of the paint on-to avoid it drying so fast
