This week, kindergarten continued their exploration of line, and started these fun line paintings! We used a new medium, to them, oil pastels and tempera cakes. 😄 Here's how we did it! Materials: Sax 90lb paper Crayola Oil Pastels Jack Richeson Semi-Moist tempera cakes First, we reviewed the different types of lines. Then, I showed them how to draw the lines from side to side of their (vertical) paper. I also talked about how you need to make the lines dark with the oil pastels, or they won't show up as well,when you paint. After that, I went over each color with the tempera cakes paint. I used rainbow colors, but told them they could use different colors if they liked. Many of them have not ever painted before, so we discussed how to hold a paint brush on the grip part of the handle, and to not get on the metal part of the brush. (As Cassie Stephens says, "the DANGER ZONE!") We go over the process of DIP, WIPE, and SWIRL, in the tempera cakes. We dip it in the water, wipe it on the rim of the cup, and swirl our brushes gently in the paint. We wanted our paint to go side to side as well, and try to stay in the lines we created. Here's some great artists from Mrs. Garcia's kindergarten class! Stay tuned for more awesome art! After the kids get done painting, we're going to use shapes (another element of art) to turn them into monsters! inspired by Georgetown Elementary's blog! I'll get them to draw the monster shape, on the back, with me Then, we'll draw the shapes out on black and white paper. If they want to go a step further, they can add accessories! Ms. Placha's class has some super cut and scary monsters!! Great job Mrs. Garcia's class! Here's some scary cute little monsters from Mrs. C. Campbell's class! Here's some super spooky, and precious monsters from Mr. Gonzalez' class! Here's Mrs. Kerr's adorable little monsters! “Lauren Stacey is a participant in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program, an affiliate advertising program designed to provide a means for sites to earn advertising fees by advertising and linking to Amazon.com.”

You can't beat a colorful flower craft. It's one of our favorite craft subjects this time of year. Especially when it's as easy as cutting and folding paper like our Easy Paper Daisy Craft! This
For the past couple of weeks, kindergarten has been working on this precious little piece of art! I got this adorable idea, yet again, from the fabulous art teacher, Cassie Stephens. Click on her name to get a little sample of her amazing art teacherin' talent! Earlier in the year, we made a cute little cloud with rainbow paper, so this lesson is a review on rainbow order, and works on all kinds of other skills!! Here's how we made ours! Materials: Sax 80lb paper Jack Richeson Semi-Moist tempera cakes Sargent Art Chalk pastels Tru-Ray Construction paper Fiskar Scissors Day 1: Paint the rainbow. This sounds easy right? Haha! Y'all try getting 20 something tiny humans to paint for the first time, and get back with me! 😂 It's super fun!! 😄We talk about how to hold a paintbrush, we talk about how to use our paint cup and tempera cakes "we dip,wipe, and swirl", and then we paint one color at a time. Dip, wipe, swirl is repeated A LOT while we paint. What that is referring to is, I tell the kids to DIP their paintbrush in the water, WIPE it on the rim of the cup, and gently SWIRL it on the tempera cake. Now on to painting! It's like doing a directed drawing. When I paint red, you paint red, and so on. Between each color, I'm walking about the room making sure everyone is following directions, and not painting something they're not supposed to! 😆 Notice I have no pictures for this process! No time!! lol Day 2: We add blue chalk for the sky, a sun with rays, and a little happy cloud. It's fun to see the little expressions the kinders put on their suns and clouds! Here's an example of what I passed out for them to use. Here's Mrs. Garcia's class, hard at work on day 2! Bravo!! We still have a few that need to glue things on and curl or crinkle our sun's rays,paint our cloud gray, and then they'll be finished! 🌈🌈Stay tuned for some awesome art! 🌈🌈

The Kindergarten artists and PreKinders also created some artwork inspired by Mondrian. The PreKinders glued down black lines creating squares and rectangles they then colored some of their shapes …
We’ve been all about the Kevin Henkes books in my classroom over the past couple of weeks. I wanted to do a mouse-themed art activity of some kind, and this directed drawing was perfect! I started doing directed drawings with my students last year after Elyse over at Proud to be Primary blogged about her Frankenbuddies. I love directed drawings because they make it easy for kids to be successful, and they are always different! In just a few simple steps, your students will be feeling like artists and showing
