Kindergarteners began their castle landscape today. I taught them how to do "rotating paint" when painting their landscape. They had a great time traveling around the art room choosing different blues and greens to put in their background.
I then read them the book Lines that Wiggle. We spent the rest of the day practicing how to draw lines such as zig zag, bumpy, loopy castle tops, wavy etc... Some of the lines were easy for them and some were quite challenging!
The second week was spent drawing the castle, drawing and coloring shapes and lines. Finally, they painted the castle with glittery paint!
The following week we worked on gluing on a black frame. After the frame was glued on, castles were cut out. Some kids cut off flags and towers, but over all did a great job cutting and gluing the castles onto their landscape.
The last day the finishing touches were put into the castle landscape. Kindergarteners practiced cutting out circles on copy paper. Finally, they added three trees, two clouds and a sun.
Here are some of the finished products!!
