School-wide Self Portrait Mural
Kindergarteners had an important role in our mural, they were assigned the color red, the first color in our rainbow. Students had fun creating their first self portrait of the year!

We learned about different types of lines: straight, wavy, zig zag (or mountain), dash (or broken), and loopy. We drew these lines with black oil pastel, then painted inside our lines with the colors of the rainbow.

Taking what we learned about lines from our painting, we made 3D lines out of paper. Students created their paper roller coasters by folding, bending, and glueing their papers.

In kindergarten, we talked about one of the prettiest times of the day, sunset. Students learned about the "horizon line" and that when the sun goes behind that line, the sky turns different colors. Using paint and paper, they then added a pumpkin.

Inspired by the artist Piet Mondrian, Kindergarteners learned all about squares, rectangles, and primary colors. After watching OK Go's music video "Three Primary Colors" that was featured on Sesame Street, students quickly learned the primary colors of red, blue, and yellow. Students created jungle gyms for their square people to play in.

Kindergarten students first learned how oil pastels and watercolors don't mix. We drew snowflakes with white oil pastel, then painted over them. Then they learned how to collage, how to cut pieces of paper and glue them down to create something new. To finish up the project, inspired by the book "Snowmen at Night" students made up stories about what their snowpeople might do at night.

Kindergarteners learned all about texture to create their beautiful bird's nests. We saw from the book, "The Best Nest" that some of the textures are soft, some are prickly, and some of rough. After creating their nest with the pinch pot method, they used tooth picks to create the texture.

I think Spring is in the air! Kindergarteners painted their nests with different shades of brown and then used a bright and fun color for the eggs

Kindergarteners learned about self portraits by first reading the book "The Colors of Us" then looking in the mirror to look closely at where everything should be drawn. Students used oil pastels on colored paper and finished them off with yarn for hair.

With the help of tracers in the shape of different fruit, Kindergarteners set up their first Still Life. A still life is a drawing or painting of a group of things that don't move, they stay still. Students worked very hard to overlap their tracers and then stay inside the lines with their crayons.

Inspired by The Very Hungry Caterpillar by Eric Carle, students made a collage out of textured painted paper. They took what they learned about "overlapping" and used it for the segments of the caterpillar body.
