pbl: all about me!
This past month of October, the Kindergarten have been learning and talking about themselves. In art class, we learned about facial proportions, body, hair, eyes while doing self-portraits, we learned about their favorite foods and created a food plate, and even created a pumpkin - If I Were A Pumpkin! (a silly pumpkin!)
exploring shape with Henri matisse
We looked at Henri Matisse's work and checked out this video. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T7OmJ_tTLTQ
Students will explore how to "Draw with Scissors", just like Matisse, and learn about overlapping shapes and line. We first created a composition with shapes and color, then created Matisse Monsters!
