Kinder Creations

Kinder Collages

Kinders have been hard at work, creating collages. They learned a bunch of different painting techniques. Learning how to mix colors, paint smooth and rough was awe inspiring and messy. They also learned that you can paint without a brush (we used cardboard for our branches)! The art of collage was so much fun. Some traced their trees, while others chose to create their own tree shapes. Then they cut and glued it all together to create beautiful fall scenes.

Fall happenings!

2nd Graders continue using real life to draw just like Henri Rousseau! They are working on overlapping, shading and using detail.

   

It's okay to make mistakes! The 3rd graders have been creating sculptures using "Zentangle" designs. They have been working on being okay to "go with the flow," even if they make mistakes. They have had to problem solve to create their sculptures as well as trying to make their art more meaningful.
