The kiddos and I have been super busy creating for the first annual art show! Here are a few projects kindergarten worked on last nine weeks.
Kinders created some fun Jim Dine pop art inspired pieces. They used jumbo crayola watercolors (these are amazing) to paint four sections on their paper and then they used a bottle cap, q tip, and black tempera paint to print some fun on the rectangles. We had a quick discussion about qtips being an art tool in the art room and don't need to enter your ears, nose, or mouth! 😉Then they created their hearts. I teach them to make hearts by having them draw a lower case m and then add a big V to the bottom. Then they sprayed the hearts with some watered down black tempera. They did a really great job. Then they cut and glue and voila!
Here is another fun project kinder has been working on inspired by Eric Carle's book "The Rainbow Fish." A little mixed media, wax resist piece, with some glitter on top. They drew the Rainbow fish with pencil, traced it with permanent sharpie, colored with Crayola crayons, added some bubbles with white crayons. Then they painted over the whole picture with those awesome jumbo Crayola watercolor paints. After the art was dried they added some seaweed at the bottom and a little glittery rainbow fin!!
