1 Enviro-Arts Elements: Creating and Learning through Reusing Pre-Kindergarten Residency Recycle What can be recycled? What are the shapes, colors and textures of materials we can recycle? Reuse How can artists explore shapes, lines, sizes and textures through reusing materials? Why do artists choose materials based on their properties? How can we be responsible and respectful of our environment by reducing waste? S Drawing, Making Shapes/Size, Line and Texturee Collages,, Reflecting Early Learning Guidelines: Learning about my World - Look at artwork from different cultures. - Show an increasing ability to use art materials safely and with purpose. - Take pride in showing others own creations. Observing, Sorting, Reusing Early Learning Guidelines: Learning About My World -Play with materials of different texture and conditions with adult encouragement and supervision. -Use one sense to experience something and make onee or two comments to describe this. -Participate in activities to preserve the environment, such as disposing of litter properly, saving paper and cans to be recycled, etc. MATH Counting, Shape, Size, and Position Early Learning Guidelines: Learning About My World -Identify by sight how many are in a small group of items, up to three. -Sort and describe items by size, color and/or shape. Compare two objects by length weight or size. -Understandd words that tell where things are. Use these words to identify locations. Follow simple directions for position.
