Part of the scope/sequence for this 9 weeks here in Nashville is Narrative Artwork with 1st grade. Since we had used Cinderella as a jumping point for our observational shoe drawings, I decided to keep going with a good thing. We talked about our favorite parts of the story- we summarized, talked about important details for particular parts. We also had a quick talk about action, and using lines to show action. Then, I turned them loose, and had them sketch out their scene. When they came back the next session, I had the paints ready, and they just went to town, Honestly, I haven't met a 1st grader who doesn't like to paint. In their enthusiasm, the painted scenes were a little hard to decipher, so when they returned the next session, I had them trace their pencil lines with Sharpie.
