The second peer lesson was presented by Ms. Wiekamp and Ms. Trautner and they taught Pebble Painting. They started out the lesson by reviewing the story, “Sylvester and the Magic Pebble.” I really enjoy that book! We then took our shoe boxes and placed a construction sheet of paper on the bottom of it. We chose between 3 different pebbles to paint with; small, medium, and large. I chose the medium pebble first and dipped it into red paint. I then placed the pebble in the shoebox, closed the shoebox, and then shook it so that paint covered the entire piece of construction paper. When I was done, there were different shapes on my paper. I then moved to the next station and chose a small pebble and placed it in yellow paint. I did the same thing that I did with the first pebble and then moved onto the next station where I continued on with the same procedure with using a large pebble in blue paint. We used all three primary colors and then we were to mix two of the primary colors to create a secondary color using the pebbles as well. I mixed blue and red together and created purple. I then mixed yellow and blue to make green. We then traced shapes and cut them out to trace onto our papers that were speckled with paint from the pebbles. I made a triangle, diamond, square, rectangle and a circle. I then pasted each of these shapes onto a big construction paper.
An extension activity that I would have my students do with this project is to create pictures using the shapes. For example, they could use the square to make a house, a triangle to make the roof for the house, and the circle as a sun. They could also experiment with other shaped pebbles, sharp or round, and different colors of paint to create their pebble paintings.
