Jill Faison, a professor at Fresno Pacific University and
author of the Art for Elementary Teachers blog, offers us a lesson in how to
help elementary students make a pop-up
book. Faison says that these books
are perfect for end-of-the-year projects. That’s because students have a great
time creating the books and can include events of their lives and perhaps of
the school year in them. Instructions are given for using 6 sheets of 9”X12”
construction paper to make the book, how to make pop-up tabs, how to cut and
fold, and how to assemble each child’s book. The Art for Elementary Teachers blog
contains lots of other ideas (how to organize art supplies, observing color and
drawing flowers, making Earth Day hats, finding books with great image files)
that will be helpful to elementary art teachers and elementary classroom
teachers.
