1st Grade Word Art

Words in Art!• This lesson is all about positivity! During times like this it’s important to stay

positive and be grateful for what you have.• We will be picking words and turning them into art. Below is a list of positive

words you may choose from• Love• Faith• Hope• Strength• Kind• Happy• Friend• If you can think of another positive word that you would rather use that’s fine!

Where to start

• Make a list of all the positive words, you can use my list and add to it.• Now pick one!• Once you have chosen a word get out a piece of paper, drawing paper

or watercolor paper is perfect but if you don’t have this don’t worry! Use what you have available, computer paper is fine.• Next draw your word in big bubble letters on your paper. Try your

best it doesn’t need to be perfect.• Now full up your background with positive images! Add patterns or

designs.

Example• Here is an example. The word is hope, notice how much space the

word takes up. You want it to be BIG!!!• I added flowers, butterflies, a rainbow, and shapes and squiggles in

the background of my word.

Colored• You want your Word art to be colorful! Use as many colors as you can!

water colors or chalk pastels just use what you do have. Crayons and markers are fine.
