Kinder Art

Kindergarten is off to a great start in art! We reviewed shapes that artists use, and looked at how they have been used in great works around the world through the Metropolitan Museum of Art's book, Shapes. We looked at circles, squares, rectangles, ovals, hearts, stars, crescents, arches and diamonds. Students then practiced drawing circles with oil pastels on black and white paper, while exploring the blending possibilities of oil pastels.
