Kindergarten Art

The Kindergarten started the year with a review of how shapes and lines combine to create objects. While carefully observing a stuffed Sesame Street Character, they created a directed draw of Oscar the Grouch. After learning about environments students created one for Oscar. Is he at a birthday party, in your backyard, camping in the woods, alone or with friends?  Other Sesame characters were available for them to draw from observation and the rest of their environment was drawn from memory. Their horizon line, or the line separating their floor from the wall, was the last thing they drew, adding great depth to their pictures. Focus is now on careful coloring
