Apple Themed Cutting Practice

August 25, by Sarah White. Leave a Comment

With fall just around the corner, it’s time to pull out all the apple-themed projects and crafts!

This apple cutting practice pack from This Reading Mama gives kids practice cutting straight lines, curved lines, zigzags and shapes, so it’s good for kids of different levels.

And the drawings are all apple themed and super cute to make it a little more interesting.

Grab this free download from This Reading Mama.

Learn about Women Artists

We’ve already talked a bit about women in STEM for Women’s History Month, but I thought it would be fun to take a look at some female artists, too. Kids can learn about the women, see their art and even make art projects inspired by them. Let’s take a look at some fun resources for learning about female artists.

The Wadsworth Atheneum has a video reading of the book Women Artists A to Z by Melanie LaBarge, which covers women artists and the subjects they painted (example, n is for nature and talks about how Maya Lin uses natural materials and makes works that fit into the environment surrounding them). Or check out this post full of children’s books about female artists from the New York Public Library.

Need more ideas of artists to talk about? These lists overlap a bit, but check out:

  • 5 Women Artists of Color from Multicultural Kids Blog
  • Famous and Should be Famous Women Artists Your Students Should Know by Art Class Curator

Once you’ve picked a few artists to focus on, or let each child choose an artist to work with, you can search for their art and more biographical information online. You may also be able to find projects inspired by particular artists, or you can develop your own. For example Yayoi Kusama is known for the use of dots in her work, so you could use that as inspiration for a classroom project. Or check out these ideas:

  • These art projects inspired by women artists from Artsy Craftsy Mom include Kusama, Sonia Delaunay, Helen Frankenthaler and more. The one shown above is inspired by Alma Thomas and can be found on Woo Jr.
  • Table Life Blog has a collection of resources for studying Mary Cassatt, including books, videos and projects.
  • Artsy Craftsy Mom has several art study lessons for various artists, male and female. Here are her posts on Georgia O’Keeffe and Frida Kahlo. I love the flower bowl pictured above, which comes from the Crayon Lab.
