The perception of rhythms by reading and the ability to auditorily discriminate these rhythm patterns by listening to them performed by the teacher is practiced here. your learners will work to create an eight-beat long rhythm pattern.

Students design an individual rubber stamp and use this design to create a simple repeat pattern. This Art lesson is for the high school level and includes a possible lesson extension.

Students analyze how repeated body movements and shapes can represent and extend patterns. In this pattern analysis lesson, students discuss patterns in dance, math, and everyday living. Students demonstrate a dance using a sequence of...

Young artists divide a piece of graph paper into sections using rectangles, squares, and triangles. They then fill each section with patterns of shape and color. Elementary graders describe how their patterns are organized. Secondary...

Students construct kaleidoscopes to demonstrate how an image is multiplied by angled mirrors before light rays reach their eyes. They follow step-by-step directions to create a kaleidoscope, and draw illustrations of the repeating...

Students investigate butterflies, moths, ladybugs and spiders looking at shapes, colors and patterns. They create a three dimensional bug using Crayola Model Magic, repeating patterns found in nature. They cut and shape the dough using...

Students create a silhouette of a simple figure and repeat it to create a pattern drawing with rhythm.

Engage young mathematicians in learning about fractions with this cross-curricular math and music lesson. After listening to and repeating different beat patterns, children realize that musical notes are just another way of representing...

Students create and extend patterns. In this pattern lesson, students learn to identify patterns using multiple senses. Students work at centers in small groups to explore and extend their understanding of patterns.

Students explore how shapes can make patterns then make connections as to how elements in a pattern relate to one another. In this matter of pattern instructional activity, students create a multi-folded paper snowflake. Students...

First graders draw, cut out, and design their own fish shapes by cutting out shapes and putting them together. In this shapes and patterns worksheet, 1st graders also construct a stamp and print patterns with stamps to repeat a...

Students demonstrate various patterns using dance. In this expressive arts lesson, students are led in a warm-up to demonstrate the AAB pattern, which includes spinning and jumping. Students are broken up into groups and perform several...

Second graders study movements. In this dance lesson, 2nd graders draw patterns selecting one to represent through movement with their body.

Experiment with your very own printmaking blocks using foam sheets! Your class can create a beautiful pattern on their stamp with various shapes, symmetrical or not. Printing these might resemble Italian or Spanish tile patterns, or a...

Use this rhythm and pattern activity during transition times or on it own. Start by introducing a rhythm with 2, 3, or 4 beats; use your feet, hands, or entire body to demonstrate. Once learners have figured out the pattern, they join...

Students explore families and culture. In this family and culture lesson, students discuss their families and their similarities and differences. Students read the book The Keeping Quilt by Patricia Polacco and create their own quilt...

Students explore rhythmic patterns. They create and perform the rhythms and use Cubase software to perform, record, and play rhythms for use in dictation exercises. They identify and count rhythm patterns

Students create tessellation drawings using repeating geometric shapes.

Students create a square design on the computer and repeat the square several times to create a pattern.

Students practice repeating rhythmic patterns in unison. Next, students work in groups to practice an alternate rhythmic pattern to Row, Row, Row Your Boat. They create their own rhythmic patterns for the song.

Students use the song Row Row Row Your Boat to help them learn patterns and expressive movement. They recreate the movement over and over until it is a pattern and they feel comfortable doing it.

First graders practice identifying and creating patterns by using unifix cubes.  For this visual design lesson, 1st graders investigate reoccurring patterns using colors and shapes and extend what is being made with their...

The students create patterns and repeat colors for unity. They explore organic shapes and demonstrate awareness of design principles and art elements. They then create 3-D paper relief from a 2-D surface and demonstrate the difference...

Students construct tesselations that fosters their ability to create, transform, and critique their own piece of work. This allows them to become aware of repeated patterns in math, and connect these patterns to artwork.
