Expressive Art Project - Bullying and Changes and Johnny Appleseed

Here are a few of the many counseling lessons using expressive art that I worked on during the past Fall Semester.

In this picture, I had my students take off one shoe and sock and they stamped their foot onto the large butcher paper - even some of the teachers joined in the fun.


These two pictures (above and below) are the finger puppets the students colored during our "Johnny Appleseed" storytime.


When I taught my students about changes - how things do not always have to be the same, there are many different colors, ways of doing things and the end results are different for everyone.  Students learned that making changes takes time and patience.  They enjoyed glueing the different pieces and no two pictures were alike.




This activity is called "Kids in Space".  The students traced their hands and shoes.  We talked about cooperation and how they had to partner up with another students and help the other person trace their hand and shoes.  It worked really great and the students had a lot of fun....some of the teachers got into the activity too.





Enjoy!
