Kindergarten

= Self-Portrait Collages = Kindergarten students learned about pattern and created their own patterns on colorful paper. Then, students cut and pasted paper to form a fun self-portrait!

**Textured Fall Trees** Kindergarten is creating trees that feature visual and tactile texture and learning about radial balance in their spectacular tree designs.

What is texture? How can you show texture in art? When colors, lines, or other designs //radiate// from the center point like the rays of the sun, that is called __-__ balance. (Radial balance) Colors of the rainbow are divided into warm and cool, which colors do we see most in the fall season?

 * Thinking like an artist questions

Kindergarteners are learning about the colors of the rainbow and how a rainbow is formed. We are practicing putting colors in the correct order and mixing colors with paint to make secondary colors! Our caterpillars will eventually become butterflies, where we will show how we can make symmetrical designs using complementary colors. =KA's Artwork:= =KB's Artwork:= = = =KC's Artwork:=
