First week for Kindergarten

Kindergarten's first week in art class was fun and artistic! Students learned about the elements of art and began to apply them in their art work.
We practiced creating lines, using scissors, glue, crayons, markers, color pencils and finally tempera paint!

These little artists began by making a silly line person, so they could practice making lines. I saw this idea on Pintrest and wanted students to give it a try. They thought it was silly too. Check out some examples below.

This student was thinking outside the box! (or circle) and added more interesting lines to his work.

Students also learned about Piet Mondrian, primary colors, and created their own artwork. These are just some of the awesome examples of their work.

By a student in Ms. Sidel's class.
The students had the opportunity to choose their media (crayons, color pencils, markers) and practiced gluing and cutting the black strips to fit their paper.

I love how this student decided to leave the center white!

Now see the artists at work while practicing using a paintbrush and tempera cakes.

These are some of the final results of our pattern paintings.
