The Kindergarteners learned the difference between the cool colors (blue, purple, and green) and the warm colors (red, orange, and yellow). Since we have cold hands during this time of year, the students created cool hand collages!
"An idea is our visual reaction to something seen - in real life, in our memory, in our imagination, in our dreams." --Anna Held Audette from the book, The Blank Canvas

Egyptian Self Portraits!
The Second Grade Students learned about the art of ancient Egypt. They viewed tomb paintings of ancient Egyptian kings, and they learned that the Egyptians believed the paintings on the wall would come to life once a king was deceased!
The students learned how to draw a profile, and they adopted the ancient Egyptian style of painting humans to create their own self portraits. Some students took the opportunity to write notes to their loved ones :)
