Kindergarten Paints like Mondrian

Kindergartners learned about the artist Piet Mondrian.  We talked about his black lines and primary colored shapes and boxes he created in his paintings.
Next, we made our own shapes using black masking tape on tagboard.  Then, we used the primary colors to paint!  It was fun mixing all of the colors!

Kindergarten's class portrait!

Kindergarten made some super cute self-portraits.  This project took us many many  weeks to complete because it had so many parts to it!

We started with a rainbow background.  We learned all about Roy G. Biv and the color spectrum.

Next we very carefully drew a self-portrait and name tag.  Then we put it all together!
First grade is learning about WEAVING!  We learned all about this neat technique.  We also talked about how we see weavings everywhere!

Here is a little video of me demonstrating our project in time-lapse.  In some classes we watched it a dozen times!


The art room needs baby wipes!

Could you please donate a package of baby wipes or Wet Ones to the art room?  We use wipes constantly to clean hands and tables and our supply is dangerously low!  Thanks!

Kindergarten Birdies


Kindergarten made these cute little birdies.  We colored a pattern, cut, assembled and glued all on our own.
