Kindergarten

Kindergarten is always learning new mediums in art. We learned that printmaking is like stamping. We can make hand and fingerprints, or we can used other objects and tools to make art prints. We read the book "The Dot" by Peter Reynolds, then made prints inspired by the main character Vashti's artwork. We used bubble wrap, and other circle shapes to make "Dot" Prints. Once we learned what printmaking is, we used real artist tools like a Brayer and Ink to make Styrofoam printing plates of snow men!

Kindergarten learned that the primary colors are so special because they make all of the colors in the color wheel. We practiced mixing the primary colors together by using oil pastels to make a primary and secondary color color wheel. Once we knew how to mix our colors, we made paintings of fish by first drawing the fish and tracing our lines with oil pastel, then painting using only the primary colors.
