What's happening in Kindergarten?

Kindergarteners are working a yearlong project called "My Kindergarten Art Book".
In this book each student completes a variety lessons that introduce them to art concepts such as LINE, SHAPE, COLOR SCHEMES, PATTERN, TEXTURE, and MIXING COLORS.  So far Kindergarten has finished the front cover of their books where they drew their house, school and a road in between. 


They also finshed their LINE assignment.  We read the book "Straight is a LINE".  I gave them each a construction paper Tee-Pee that they were to decorate with different kinds of LINES.  They then glued it to piece of paper and then drew a landscape background.  Then they colored their backgrounds with crayons.

We aslo just finished PRIMARY COLORS with them.
In this project they had their hands traced on their papers and then they outlined their hands with a sharpie marker.  Next they were introduced to Primary colors.  We talked about what the primary colors did and then they colored in their hands with them.  One hand one color, the other hand another primary color and the background was the last primary color.
 

Their Art book will be one that parents will want keep for sure.
