Students in first grade used symmetry and knowledge of castle architecture to design a castle of their own. They used cardboard to print lines and textures for their castle structure. They then painted a background for their castle, added color to their building, and drew, colored, cut and pasted details. Students in second grade used size, overlap, detail and value to establish a foreground, middleground and background in their landscape paintings. In the process, they learned Sumi-e painting, which they used to add a blossoming branch in the foreground. Kindergarten students explored primary colors in stories, songs and games. Students then used the three primary colors to paint a series of six circles. Their paintbrushes mixed and stirred the primary colors together to make secondary colors, just as the mice did in Ellen Stoll Walsh's Mouse Paint. Once the paint was dry, they used their imagination to turn their dots into animals, insects or bugs. |
