This is an excellent one hour art lesson based on the picture book: Adventures of a Nose by Viviane Schwartz (order from your library). In this story, a nose goes on an adventure to try to find his place in the world. In each illustration, there are hidden eyes and a mouth, thus creating a "face" and students delight in finding the hidden features. Using paper, pencil and crayons, students can draw a simple nose going anywhere...swimming, walking, playing. The key is to HIDE two eyes in the scene and then let others guess where those eyes are? Remind them not to scribble, to change colors for variety, and to color evenly. Some children can even write their own nose story on the back or on an extra sheet of paper. You can also bring up this link where the illustrator, Viviene Swartz, demonstrates how she develops characters in this short and engaging video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hCCaAZUyk3E
