Instructional Ideas

  • Instead of having individuals mail their postcards to themselves immediately, save them for the end of the year and mail them out as a surprise

Classroom Considerations

  • It is unclear in the lesson procedures if kids should paint in an impressionist style on their postcards

Pros

  • Combines several different skills (art analysis, painting, writing, etc.)
  • Includes a brief glossary of related terms

Cons

  • None
