The year is flying by and we have been making all kinds of art! Part of our time in Kindergarten is spent exploring on our own - called Free Time Art. I have centers set up for students to try new materials, play art games, draw and sculpt. (We've been going through a lot of tape lately.) I also use these centers when I need to teach small groups.
The first weeks of school we learn all about lines, shapes and colors. The practice of drawing lines helps students to understand movement, action and direction. And it helps with handwriting - by learning to look at the small details of a letter.
