Integrate your Boston Tea Party lesson with art for a fun drawing activity. Students will use the drawing strategy of making an upside-down to portray some of the events leading up to the Declaration of Independence. Through the use of a grid drawing and drawing upside down, students will improve their drawing skills and also create historical drawings and a graphic organizer that they can fill out with some cause and effects of the Boston Tea Party.
Your students will:

Have you ever tried an upside-down drawing?
What happens in your brain is that instead of naming each part you are drawing, your brain focuses more on the lines and shapes you are drawing. Eliminating the name of what you are drawing helps you draw what you see, not what you think you see. Unfortunately, sometimes your brain can get in the way!! You might be blown away at how well your students can draw (upside-down)!
This lesson will meet the needs of a wide range of learners from elementary to middle school. You can use this set to differentiate or use it with a variety of age levels.
This idea of drawing upside-down was made popular by Mona Brookes in her book Drawing with Children. If you are a homeschool teacher using her book to teach your kids to draw, this lesson will fit right into your Colonial American unit.
