JAPANESE STYLE PLATE
WHAT YOU’LL NEED:
• Plain paper plate (8” is best )
• Sharpie Marker
• Drawing aids
• Blue, white, turquoise, pink or red,
yellow liquid tempera paint
• Black paint for outlining
• Small round brush
Drawing and Painting on paper plates is
surprisingly fun. You may be wondering
why bother painting on a plate when you
can just as easily paint on paper.
What I discovered was that kids love to
paint within parameters. Painting on a
plate, with it’s distinct size, offers a new
perspective for children.
You can mimic a real plate like the
Japanese Pagoda sample, paint a
masterpiece like the Great Wave sample
or cut the paper plate in half to create a
beautiful fan.
Whatever you chose, you’ll see how
much fun it is painting on a round
surface.
These projects are best for grades 2 and up.

For the best drawing tips, please watch the video in The Great Wave Lesson (Grade 3-4 and 5-6)
On a white plate, draw the FIRST WAVE (bottom) with a black oil pastel or drawing tool of
your choice (black crayon, marker, etc). The wave starts at the bottom side of the plate.
To draw the SECOND WAVE place oil pastel on the side of the plate. Draw a curved line up
to the middle of the plate and start to head down. As you move down the wave, wiggle and
jiggle the oil pastel to make the whitecaps of the wave front. Scoop the line down and over
to the right hand side of the plate.
To draw the WHITECAPS, use the oil pastel to draw an uneven line along the underside of
the wave.
Add a horizon line and draw Mt. Fuji in the distance.
For the final bit, draw lines or stripes along the interior of each wave.

Using liquid tempera paints, blend the
blues and white together to create
interesting VALUE.
It’s worth experimenting with mixing the
turquoise, pink, blue and white paint to
come up with an interesting color
combination for the waves. Surprisingly
enough, this is what really makes the
lesson POP and helps each child create a
unique painting.
Paint background using any color
combination. In fact, you may want to
encourage children top select a color
other than blue for the sky given that the
water and waves will be some shade of
blue.
Outline the waves with black tempera
paint.
Splatter white paint near crest of wave to
imitate the ocean spray.

JAPANESE PAGODAWith a Sharpie marker draw a Japanese
Pagoda using the drawing aid on the next
page.
Using white and blue tempera paint and a
small brush, paint TINTS inside the larger
shapes of the pagoda.
Using the brush, paint details around the
plate. Details can be flowers, leaves,
patterns, stripes, etc.

JAPANESE FANSCREATING THE FAN:
Cut a large paper plate in half. Each
child can paint one half.
Using a plastic lid from a sour cream
container or similar size, trace a semi-
circle on the flat side of the plate. Cut
out.
Select ONE BASE COLOR and paint
entire fan.
When the base coat dries, allow the
kids to paint freely. Children in grades
3 and above will have an easier time
with this as it involves a bit of
precision while painting free-hand.
Offer children the handouts for a few
drawing ideas.
Optional: If you have Popsicle sticks
handy, you can add them to the
bottom of the fan in a crossed
position.
