To begin the school year, our essential question was, "How does an artist represent an idea like kindness through art?" We read the book Plant A Kiss by Amy Krouse Rosenthal and discussed how the illustrator, Peter H. Reynolds, represented what happens when we are kind to others. The book uses a wonderful visual metaphor that young students can easily grasp and older students appreciate on a deeper level. The theme of the book also ties neatly into the most important rule in the KES art class, which is to be kind. After reading and discussing the book, students shared ideas about what kindness looks like in the art room. This tree is filled with heart shaped leaves made by every student in the school from their first day in art class this year. Each heart is a symbol of kindness, and together they express how kindness can flourish and grow.
