Pesky Peacocks

IThis is the first kindergarten project of the year.  We talked about are warm colors for the background. Then I help all my Kundera print there hand.  We used oil pastels to make the body.   Boy did they turn out cute or what.  

We are using them for are square 1 art project this year.   

Update to love bunnies

I let my Kinders pick brown or gray paint to paint there bunny.  They look so cute. 

Love Bunnies.

So here is a new clay project that I did with my Kinders.  I gave them a ball of clay. I let them play with the clay for a few.  Then they had to roll it into a ball.   I came around and help shape the clay.  Then they pinched out the ears and the nose.  Then we drew the nose and whiskers.   I rolled out a slab and cut out hearts   Gave the Kinders a little piece of clay to roll out a coil to make arms. We add the arms to make it look like it is holding the heart.    

Who doesn't love a love bunny. 

Over and out.  

I I will post more pictures after we finish them.  

Collaborate art

So I saw a few examples of where high school art student work with an elementary art students art work. And use that art work as a reference.  The high school art teacher and I worked out all the details. I had my kindergarten students draw there own monster and the high school students drew, sculpted, and craved them.  It was a lot of fun. We plan on doing it again next year. So pleases stay tuned in to see what happens next. 

In the jungle the mighty jungle..

Ok I know you all know that song, but it's not what you think. It goes like this in the jungle the mighty jungle the Tiger sleeps tonight. Anyway I did this project with my kinders. So i was show/learnig about Rousseau. We did the shaving cream marbling with orange and black to make the tiger stripes. Then we took a 12" x 12" paper and drew are jungle. We made this project 3d which they loved. Next we add I. Some bushes and trees to give it more of a 3d feel. Loved it.

Tooth fairies

Ok. Everyone after my big win the other day I need to give all of you some art stuff. My kinders were learning about teeth and where there are teeth their are Tooth Fairies. Wel started out with two circles and turn them into cones. The little one was the head and the bigger one the body. I used wired for the neck. We taped the wire inside the body and the head. For the wings we used foil and did a rubbing on it to give it some texture. They turned out pretty cool. This was a new project for me so I am still working out some of the kinks. So please stay tune in for more

Light Painting

 This school year I started teaching LINES to my kindergarten.  For the past 2 weeks we been drawing lines and using them in different ways.  But I wanted to try something new and very different.  So I got some little LED lights, and a good camera. We  did some light painting, in are light paintings we did lines and shapes.  The students really liked it.. They thought it was cool that they drawings would show on like that on the camera.
