Kindergarten has now completed their first two art lessons at Wilson Creek! We started the year off by talking about lines. As in the past, I read "Lines That Wiggle" to the kids and then we practiced drawing a variety of lines. Students then used their paper filled with lines to start assembling their very own line monsters like we saw in the book. Googley eyes that were donated to the classroom were the perfect finishing touch! Following this lesson, we jumped right into reflective landscapes. This was a great opportunity to talk with the students about proper painting technique and how to keep our paint materials looking brand-new all year. Mrs. Bellinger and I ordered brand new Royal paint brushes this year and are doing our best to keep the supply looking nice. At this point, my kindergarteners are washing their paint brushes better than my Anna McDonald students! Students used folded paper to paint a fall scene in front of a lake. With this lesson, students learned the vocabulary "landscape","reflection", and "balance".
