Kindergarten students just finished their self-portraits this week!! In order to get everything perfect, we spent several classes talking about where features go on our faces, how to draw those features, and looking at ourselves in the mirrors! Students used a variety of mediums for their portraits including construction paper, yarn, and paint! This is one of my favorite projects that kindergarten does because the artworks turn out so cute!!!!

For this project, kindergarten students looked at and studied several examples of Van Gogh's Sunflower paintings. After looking at his paintings and discussing them, it was time for students to get to work. We drew our sunflowers using oil pastels in similar colors to those Van Gogh used. The final touch was to use watercolor paints to fill in the background! The sunflowers really brighten up our downstairs hallway!!
Kindergarten students created WILD THINGS, based upon illustrations in the book Where the Wild Things Are by Maurice Sendak. We read the book together and discussed the illustrations of the Wild Things. After our discussion, students created their own Wild Things! The artworks look wonderfully wild!!!
