This art lesson plan outlines objectives and activities for a second grade lesson on patterns and warm/cool colors. Students will create two patterns - one using geometric shapes with warm colors, the other organic shapes with cool colors. They will apply these concepts by designing an African hat (kufi) integrating the two patterns. The teacher will provide guided instruction and examples. Formative assessments include worksheets on color identification and a culminating activity where students correctly apply colors to their patterns. Higher-order thinking questions prompt analysis of pattern differences and relationships between colors and feelings. Differentiation strategies support varied learning needs.
