Kindergarten

End of the year Kinder! I can't believe how much hard work these kindergartners put into their art this last semester! We made dinosaurs that were buried with their favorite things. We painted the background to look like dirt and added a sky. the dinosaur bones were made from white paper. Each kindergartner drew his/her dinosaurs favorite things on a separate piece of paper. We cut them out and glued them on the background. This dinosaur like ice cream, pizza, crayons and balloons.

The mixed media fish we made were colorful and so much fun! We stamped the background with paper towel rolls. The fish we stamped with rectangle stamps, the wrapped string around their fish bodies. The fins were made from paper scraps. the last part of the project was cutting out the seaweed and gluing it to the bottom of the sea.

 

Hundertwasser Flowers

3rd grade has been talking about realistic and abstract art throughout the year. For this project, we looked at Hundertwasser's abstract flowers and some pictures of realistic flowers and discussed the differences and similarities. the 3rd graders first painted a background using their opposite hand (we got some great shapes and lines!) then we cut out our flowers and used various colors of construction paper to add some depth to the flowers. Overall they turned out great! Lovely flowers, 3rd Grade.

Patterns with Kinder!

We reviewed patterns today in kindergarten. I gave each kid two stamps on their hand... a triangle, square, or circle in blue, red or yellow. I split them into groups and each group had to come up with a pattern using their hands. They could make patterns using colors (blue, yellow, blue, yellow) or shapes (square, circle, square, circle) or both! So much fun!
