Eiffel Tower Art Project Montessori Grade Pre-K to 2nd Grade

The Eiffel Tower is a world-famous monument located in Paris, France. It was built in 1889 as the entrance arch to the World's Fair, and it has become an iconic symbol of the city of Paris and French culture.

In this art lesson, students will have the opportunity to create their own version of the Eiffel Tower out of straws. They will learn about the history and significance of the monument, as well as develop their fine motor skills and creativity.

Here are four ways to integrate this art lesson into other subjects in the elementary school classroom:

1. Social Studies: Use the Eiffel Tower as a starting point to explore French history and culture. Students can research French landmarks, traditions, and cuisine, and present their findings to the class.
2. Math: Challenge students to use their knowledge of geometry to create a to-scale version of the Eiffel Tower. They can calculate the measurements of each section of the tower, and work collaboratively to ensure that the final product is proportional and accurate.
3. Language Arts: Have students write a descriptive paragraph or poem about the Eiffel Tower. Encourage them to use sensory details to bring the monument to life, and incorporate vocabulary related to architecture and engineering.
4. Science: Discuss the physics behind the construction of the Eiffel Tower. Students can learn about the properties of materials used to build the tower, and explore concepts such as gravity, weight, and balance. They can also experiment with building their own structures out of different materials to test their strength and stability.

Overall, this art lesson is a fun and engaging way to explore the history and significance of the Eiffel Tower, while also integrating other subjects into the curriculum. By creating their own versions of the tower, students will develop their creativity, critical thinking, and teamwork skills.
