This document outlines lessons from an art class. It covers 5 lessons: 1) understanding the relationship between color, emotion, and feeling by analyzing nature videos and Matisse cutouts; 2) recognizing interdependence in ecosystems by reading the story "Swimmy"; 3) identifying habitat adaptations through the story "The Artist Who Painted a Blue Horse" and creating impossible ecosystems; 4) selecting essential information and techniques by visiting an online art museum; and 5) designing informative cards and a brochure by analyzing real exhibition brochures. The lessons aim to teach students about color, nature, art, and designing exhibits.
