Drawing Botanicals like Linnaeus

Description

This 16 page lesson plan includes the following:

• A condensed background on the artist,
• 9 Printable pictures (including 2 of Linnaeus’ botanicals, 7 other botanicals, and a painting of Linnaeus),
• A pair of carefully crafted sentences about Linnaeus (ideal for memorization),
• Vocabulary words and definitions
• Materials list
• Simple instructions that any artistically challenged teacher can understand and use,
• Suggestions for scaling the project to different ages,
• Two simplified line drawings of a botanical (ideal for younger kids to trace),
• References to the pertinent Classical Conversations Acts and Facts cards.

I designed this lesson plan for use in our Classical Conversations community (Cycle 2, Week 14 for Fine Arts), but you could easily use it in a variety of situations.

This is a PDF file, so you’ll need a PDF Reader to view and print it. Download a free PDF Reader here: https://get.adobe.com/reader/.
