Art with Ms. Leah
Here is what Ms. Leah has to say about their art time:
I'm using Kandinsky's Squares with Concentric Circles. With all classes, (except toddlers), I showed them the painting and asked what they noticed. This led to identifying shapes and colors for the younger kids and making connections for the older kiddos. We also discussed how Kandinsky listened to music while he painted. During each project, I played classical music to help us create and focus.
Here are the individual class art projects and the skills they used:
Toddlers: We worked on fine motor, color recognition, size vocabulary (small, medium, large). The toddlers glued three circles, organizing by size.
2/3: I wanted to use dimension in our art piece, the 2/3's painted small, medium, large paper plates and bowls in bold colors. We will glue them together to create a class art piece.
3/4: Reduce! Reuse! Recycle! For this project, I collected lids from parents and had the children sort them by color. Then each student picked a small, medium, and large lid. These will go together to create a class art piece.
4/5: The Pre-K class practiced their fine motor skills by cutting circle (small, med, large). They will glue the circles onto squares to create a class art piece.
Thank you Ms. Leah for this fabulous art experience!
