Today's Classroom Activities :

Texture Study

Texture Study
Science/Art Begin a study of textures with crayon rubbings. Tape samples of several different textures to a counter or piece of cardboard. Have students conduct rubbings over rug samples, bubble wrap, coins, keys, clothing, sandpaper, the inside of corrugated cardboard, etc. Frame each rubbing with contrasting colored construction paper. Hang them in a wall display or put them together in booklet form and invite other classes to guess the textured objects that were rubbed.

Investigating Texture
This is a simple activity, which will give children a basic understanding of different types of textures in the environment.

Texture Critters Lesson Plan
This project lets students explore simple shapes and textures. They draw an outline shape of an animal, then fill it in with as many textures as they can think of!

Elements of Visual Art - Texture
In this one-session lesson, students will be able to identify texture in works of art. Students will then create a texture collage.
