Paper Playgrounds

Inspired by playgrounds & all the lines we see, 

Kindergarteners fold, bend, twist, & swirl paper lines to make 

a uniquely artistic playground of their dreams!

Geometric & Organic Shapes

Day 1: Kinder, first, learned about geometric shapes.  We drew a series of shapes, then colored with marker.

Day 2: After discussing organic shapes,  students used a water dropper to drop water into the colored geometric shapes to create new "organic" shapes.

It was like magic!  So many ooo's & awe's.  

Day 3" Sharpie the organic shapes.

Mouse Paint

After reading the book, Mouse Paint, we mixed our colors from primary to secondary colors, then cut & pasted them to make mice.  

Yes, we even added a piece of cheese!  

Kindergarten...Cutting Lines-Project 2

Cutting Lines Practice

My favorite 2nd project of the year. 

Let's get cutting!

I have pre-cut strips of paper placed in their buckets.  

Draw lines 1st, then attempt cutting & pasting (using glue sticks) in an "orderly" manner.  

Always a little scary at first, but they did a great job!

Drawing / Painting Lines- Project 1

Kinder 

Lines, Lines, & More Lines!

1st Project of the year!

Kinder practices drawing lines (day 1), then they get to experience a crayon  resist using watercolor paints.
Love the restaurant trays for the little ones.  Art fits on the drying rack & it's less messy for me!  Awesome.  Just Awesome.
