The kindergarten students had done a project based on lines last week, so this week we followed up with a project about shapes. They used different shapes to create a shape train!

The kindergarten students talked about Self-Portraits. We also discussed collage. Each student glued squares of tissue paper to a sheet of paper to create a background. They then drew a Self-Portrait. They colored it with crayons and outlined with black marker. The cut their self-portrait out and glued it to their colorful tissue paper collage background. I then used mod podge to create a shiny surface on the finished pieces.
The kindergarten students learned about architecture and architects. They each created their own buildings coloring them in and cutting them out. They then folded a large sheet of paper in half and created a background. They used the background to create the pop -up feature for their buildings.
The kindergarten students reviewed mosaics. They then created a torn paper mosaic heart. They chose which color they wanted to have as their border and tore the paper and glued it down. They then chose the color for the next row and continued until the heart was full.
The kindergarten students used dippity-dye paper to trace a heart. They then used either warm or cool colors to color in their hearts. When their hearts were completely filled with color they laid the heart on a piece of white paper and sprayed it with a water bottle. When the the heart was wet they laid another piece of paper on top and pressed down. They ended up with a set of heart prints.
I led the preschool students through the steps of drawing a turkey. They then had to add line designs and patterns with crayons onto their turkey. They used watercolors to paint the rest of their turkey.
The kindergarten students drew pumpkins using curved lines to create a rounded shape. They then used red, yellow, orange and white paint to create different shades of orange on their pumpkins. They added expressions using black construction paper.
The student used torn paper to create their candy corn mosaics. They added arms, legs, and faces to their candy corn. The kindergarten students looked at picture of Autumn trees. We discussed how leaves turn red, yellow, and orange in the Fall and how these are warm colors. They then painted tree trunks with brown paint. Next, they each balled up a piece of foil and dipped it in the warm colors and stamped it onto their tree tops.
The kindergarten students learned about texture. They then created texture monsters from different materials. We then talked about how artist show texture in their drawings and the students drew the monsters they created.
The kindergarten students created sharks from construction paper. The students learned about symmetry. They folded a gray sheet of paper in half to draw their shark head, so it would be symmetrical when they cut it out. They then had to draw and cut all of the other shapes that made up the shark and the water. Gluing it all to a light blue background.
