Kindergarten 1st day of art class lesson
I found a great lesson for the 1st day of art class from the Double Loaded paintbrush blog.

When the children arrived for their first day of art class I had them sit on the floor. I filled a backpack with art supplies for the children to pull out of the bag. Each time a student pulled out an item we discussed what it was and how to use it. I made sure to have something for each student to pull out of the bag. In the front pocket I had a heart with the words "respect" a "smiley face" and a trapezoid with the word "try" written on it. We discussed how to respect the teachers and the art supplies, to always "try" in art and to enjoy art (smiley face).
I then had the students make art! I printed on 12" x 18" multi media paper a frame and the rules we discussed.
Students were then instructed to draw a picture of me. This gave me a quick assessment of how students were developmentally in their drawing skills.
Again, thanks for the idea "Double Loaded Paintbrush".
