Lesson One
Day One, Art Start

1. Almond Croissant (2026) Clover Robin

2. Read The Incredible Cabinet Of Wonders by Joe Fullman 

3. Discussion Questions "Did you know rich individuals owned fancy cabinets to show off wealth and power? Did you know scholars and scientists owned cabinets to show off learning and discovery? How do cabinets show the wonders of nature and the achievements of human creativity? How do artists create their own cabinets of art and curiosity to show off the collectibles from classroom experiences throughout the year? How do cabinets of art and curiosity remind you of places or collections you have seen or visited? What objects or items would you include in your own cabinet or art and curiosity? In what ways do cabinets of art and curiosity inspire you to explore and learn about the world around you? What does the physical object you choose look like, feel like, smell like, and sound like? What do you notice about the different displays? What do they tell you about the different collections of your classmates? What objects or cabinets are you most curious about? How does your collection represent you? If someone from 100 years in the future found your cabinet, what would they learn about your life?"

What different patterns can you find in this artwork? How many colors can you name in this artwork? Does the artist use realistic colors or are these colors more fun? Do you any shapes (circles, rectangles, squares) repeating in this artwork? How do you think the artist made this? Can you see where paper might have been cut out and glued on top of the brown background? Whose cupboard do you think this is? Is it from a giant's house, a colorful cafe, or a grandma's kitchen? If you could pick one item to use for breakfast, which one would it be? What do you think is missing from the shelves in this artwork?"
