This lesson plan was developed by Catherine Howell, Johnson Creek, Wisconsin.

Directions1. Ask for a student volunteer. Have them lie down on the floor (on tagboard/paper) and trace around them with a pencil. Talk about neatness while taking your time drawing the outline. Be sure to instruct students to trace lightly so the line can be erased later.

*To save time, have students use Roylco® Giant Paper Kid Cut Outs.

2. Talk with students about different poses and how each student should strike a unique pose to ensure variety.

3. Demonstrate cutting out a variety of different shapes (geometric and free-form), while also emphasizing good craftsmanship.

Tips1. Before you display your figure mosaics, be sure to create wall labels that include each student’s name.

2. Since this is a group project and students don’t take them home, it’s a great idea to take photographs of each figure mosaic, print off copies, and give one to each student so they have something to show for all their hard work!

3. To save time, have students use Roylco® Giant Paper Kid Cut Outs.

4. Be creative! Use a variety of materials.

Student Directions1. Have one student lie down on the paper. The other student(s) can draw an outline of the student’s figure using a pencil.2. While students are outlining figures, be sure materials are set out and ready for cutting. As soon as a group is done tracing, give them a bag of materials to start cutting. (Give each group their own paper bag full of materials).

3. After a good amount of materials are cut and ready to go, students can begin gluing. If students are running short on materials, have one or more students keep gluing and the others can cut more materials, this really helps speed up the process (teamwork).

4. Demonstrate how to glue shapes onto their figure drawings and how to apply glue near the edge (but not too much glue), so materials adhere and dry nice and flat. Emphasize the importance of gluing the materials right next to the pencil line so it acts as the “border” of the figure (there should be no space between pencil line and materials).

5. Talk with students about the importance of leaving a small space in-between each piece of material – to give it the “mosaic” look.

6. Talk with students about “teamwork” and the importance of working together as a group.

IntroductionBefore introducing this lesson, create a figure mosaic so that students will have a visual reference. Begin the lesson by saying, “I have a special project for your class. We are going to change the look of our environment by decorating the walls with your figures!” Next, ask if anyone knows what a figure drawing is and then follow up by showing example. Explain that this will be a group project and that each group will be creating one figure mosaic.
