Kindergarten Chickens

Kindergarten artists had fun drawing and coloring these bright chickens. The artists learned they could use simple shapes to create their chickens. They started by tracing a circle for the head. They drew triangles and ovals for the beaks and feathers. A rectangle or square was used for the box,  a circle for the sun, and ovals for the eggs.

In the Kindergarten art room we like to explore all different mediums throughout the year. This project introduced them to oil pastels. The artists founds out they were very messy, but created bright colors. Messy fingers usually make for a fun day in art class!

Art Room “Favorite Days” Are Here

We’ve been celebrating our “Favorite Days” in art this past week.   My students earn minutes toward a special art day where they get to choose some of their favorite art activities to explore.  This is also an opportunity for them to complete unfinished projects and pass back pieces that are ready to go home.  Here are some of the areas we’ve enjoyed exploring.
