Kindergarten Art Adventures
The kindergarten artists have begun an art exploration based on their classroom study of the five senses. They began by considering how things feel or their texture. They quickly set off around the art room to create crayon rubbing recordings of all the textures they could find. The kindergarteners further experienced how texture could be represented visually when they created unique monoprints, using various tools and objects to create images in ink and printing them on paper.
As they were exploring, the kindergarten artists noticed that many different types of lines could be used to draw textures. We considered several different types of lines - zig-zag, squiggly, diagonal, horizontal, vertical, even swirly! Finally, we imagined how lines could move through space, creating sculptures out of paper strips and we noticed that when a line closes it creates a shape.
