Planning an Art Lesson

**Positive Outcomes** Creating an art lesson is also important before starting the art activity. This can be done in the following steps: 1. **Understand the needs of the child** by observing them closely. 2. **Determine the prerequisites and aims** of the art activity. 3. **Plan the exercise** — gather a clear sequence in your mind. 4. **Collect all the necessary materials** for the exercise. 5. **Create and practice the exercise** yourself first. 6. **Present the exercise** to the child slowly, with minimal words. A well-prepared art lesson invites the child in. A poorly prepared one frustrates them. The adult's preparation is the silent foundation of the child's creative freedom.
