The kindergarten students learned about warm colors and cool colors through a series of drawing activities and exercises. After I was confident that they could tell the difference through a series of assessments, they were asked to choose either warm or cool colors to create a background for a self-portrait. After creating a background with tempera paint, we moved onto the next part of the project. I taught the students how to draw a full body self-portrait through a demonstration. We also talked about how to create detail to make your work more creative. They studied their faces by looking in mirrors and then practiced drawing themselves by creating sketches. We discussed how our differences are what make us unique and if we all looked and acted the same that our lives would be very boring. The final part of the assignment was for them to draw a full-bodied self-portrait using marker and colored pencil. Their finished pieces are pictured below.
Below are the kindergarten students painting their clay pinch pots. They are currently on display in the 1/2 hallway.
