I have done this lesson a few different ways. These were done with 1st, 2nd and 3rd grade students (some Montessori mixed-age classes).
On the first day, we learned about the artist Laurel Burch and students get a sketch paper to practice drawing cats in different positions (I don't give much guidance this day on how to draw cats). On the second day, I teach students how to draw a seated cat step-by-step in the style of Laurel Burch.
After the cats are drawn, student get to fill the cat in with pattern! We discuss color as they begin painting their cats and they paint the cat in a warm or cool color and then do the opposite for the background (warm cat, cool background or cool cat, warm background).
