I am for sure one of those people that gets Spring fever and that is why in this article I am going to dive on into Choice-Based Spring Art Lesson ideas that you can use in your amazing classroom! I am so excited about this because I have some super cute spring art activities that are ready to sprout for you!
GET ALL THE DETAILS! Listen to this post on my Podcast!
The first spring art idea includes providing student the opportunity to research, either individually or as a class, some flowers that often grow or bloom in the spring. This could include Spring Bulbs!
Once they create either sketch notes, quick sketches, or a written list of flowers, they can then create a page of reference images of some of the flowers they like. To speed up the process or to make it easier for lower grades, you can provide a page of reference images of flowers for each student. Have them circle or color images or flowers they like to make their thinking visible.
Finally, talk with them about what collage is and introduce them to an assortment of art making mediums and materials. Show them ways they can use the mediums. Then explain that they will be using their own choice of mediums to create a collage of a spring flower!
Spring Bulb Flower Sculptures
Similar to the first idea, you can research as a class different flowers that grow as a bulb and become blooming beauties in the spring. Have students make sketch notes or visual notes of the flowers as you introduce them to your class. Kids can both draw the flower and write its name on paper.
Next, provide a page with reference images of the flowers you introduced to your students to reinforce their leaning and to model steps of the creative process.
After, provide a range of art making mediums for students to create Paper Spring Flower Sculptures! Students can use papers, cardboard or other paper mediums to create a beautiful sculpture of a paper flower of their choosing.
You can also allow students to use any other art mediums to add color and variety to their artwork.
Velvet Art

Made from durable woven canvas fabric with sturdy webbed handles for comfort, this tote is perfect for all of your Springtime activities!
Watercolor Velvet Art Posters II

Achieve beautiful blended colors and soft subtle shading with watercolor paints. You can paint right over the velvet printing – easy success for almost any age and ability!
Watercolor Velvet Art Butterflies
Velvet Art is one of the most popular new craft activities – and now you can add paint! Make beautiful butterflies with watercolor paints. You can also blend colors and create soft shading with paint or colored pencils. You can paint right over the velvet printing so it’s great for almost any age and ability. We also love these velvet art posters as another Spring craft.
Drawstring Bag
This last Spring craft item is a drawstring bag with a velvet butterfly outline. Using fabric markers, color in the butterfly, then add some other designs like leaves and flowers. A helpful tip is to line the inside with newspaper to prevent bleed through. Kids can use these for carrying items on field trips, vacation, camp, and more. We also have a flower drawstring bag.
Foam Flower
This fun foam flower magnet is a working thermometer (oil filled). Includes foam pieces, thermometer, and wiggly eyes. Each project is individually bagged with all the pieces for convenience! One instruction sheet is shared among the group.
