Download the lesson plan, printable file, and PowerPoint in a <a href=\"https:\/\/brightartlessons.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Koons_BalloonDog.zip\">zip file here<\/a>. Lesson time: 30 minutes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Encourage students to observe and then guess what they would name the sculpture. There are always creative ideas. If partner-pair-and-share is preferred, have each person take a turn sharing with the partner next to them what their idea is. To encourage listening, ask students to share the name their partner shared.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Model with students the process of drawing a balloon dog by going through the PowerPoint. Identify a dot and an oval dot. Encourage students to find three tints and shades of one color &ndash; Orange, yellow-orange, and red-orange. Outline each shape in the primary color. Model how to outline, then color in by making lines side-by-side or repeated circles. Encourage students to look for the highlight and the shadow of each shape. Repeat for the rest of the drawing. Have fun adding swirls and other patterns to the yellow border. The reward image at the end of the PowerPoint shows the scale of the sculpture. Note: I do not include an Avery sticker label for this project because the information is at the bottom of the worksheet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"779\" height=\"1024\" data-id=\"348\" src=\"https:\/\/brightartlessons.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/K_Koons_BalloonDogLesson-779x1024.png\" alt=\"Balloon Dog Lesson Plan\" class=\"wp-image-348\" srcset=\"https:\/\/brightartlessons.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/K_Koons_BalloonDogLesson-779x1024.png 779w, https:\/\/brightartlessons.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/K_Koons_BalloonDogLesson-228x300.png 228w, https:\/\/brightartlessons.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/K_Koons_BalloonDogLesson-768x1010.png 768w, https:\/\/brightartlessons.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/K_Koons_BalloonDogLesson-730x960.png 730w, https:\/\/brightartlessons.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/K_Koons_BalloonDogLesson-821x1080.png 821w, https:\/\/brightartlessons.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/K_Koons_BalloonDogLesson-913x1200.png 913w, https:\/\/brightartlessons.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/K_Koons_BalloonDogLesson.png 1118w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 760px) calc(100vw -

I don&rsquo;t pass it around, but I walk around the room with it for students to observe while storytelling about the inspiration for this sculpture. During Jeff Koons&rsquo; son&rsquo;s third birthday, they were giving out balloons to the children. This experience inspired him to make large-scale, shiny versions of sculptures. Inspiration for our artwork can come from anywhere &ndash; even a birthday party. The mini-sculpture has been a fun addition to my art room that the students love to look at.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized\"><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/brightartlessons.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/BalloonDogBlue.jpg\" alt=\"Balloon Dog Mini Sculpture Blue\" class=\"wp-image-346\" style=\"width:160px;height:169px\" width=\"160\" height=\"169\" srcset=\"https:\/\/brightartlessons.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/BalloonDogBlue.jpg 679w, https:\/\/brightartlessons.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/BalloonDogBlue-285x300.jpg 285w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 160px) 100vw, 160px\"><\/noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/brightartlessons.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/BalloonDogBlue.jpg.webp\" alt=\"Balloon Dog Mini Sculpture Blue\" class=\"wp-image-346 lazyload\" style=\"width:160px;height:169px\" width=\"160\" height=\"169\" srcset=\"https:\/\/brightartlessons.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/BalloonDogBlue.jpg.webp 679w, https:\/\/brightartlessons.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/BalloonDogBlue-285x300.jpg.webp 285w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 160px) 100vw, 160px\" data-pin-media=\"https:\/\/brightartlessons.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/BalloonDogBlue.jpg\" id=\"mv-trellis-img-3\" data-trellis-processed=\"1\"><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/45p1I3x\">Balloon Dog Mini Sculpture Blue<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Reward Image<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>At the end of the PowerPoint, there is a slide that says &ldquo;Reward Image,&rdquo; followed by a picture.
