Welcome to Art my Kinder friends

 Our Kinders artists were introduced to the Mona Lisa, who is such a good art listener. 

Color blending to create our own orange perfect for making a fall leaf 

We had fun with lines and did more color blending. Using scissor properly cutting small and large shapes and holding a paint brush with purpose! Shape Monster in the making!

We made Whimsical shaped penguins each had their own personality 

 Rainbow Robots with colorful Name Game backgrounds

collage, cutting, gluing, coloring, writing their name and watercolor

this project has it all!

Everyone got to know Vincent Van Gogh  his Starry Night and the Sunflower paintings as part of the School Open House fund raiser. The group pieces were created using painting, stamping and collage 

We ended the year making clay snails using a coil technique. 

Hands on Fun!

                                      The book was the perfect way to close out a lovely Kinder year
