kindergarten art lesson Andy Warhol

Kindergarten art lesson Andy Warhol

                                  In this demonstration video the children are actually using paint sticks. I made the video during COVID and I was teaching on a cart. The kindergarten classrooms don't have sinks so this was a great alternative. 

This is a popular lesson that has been repeated several times on the internet. I'm not sure where the original idea came from. 

I had the children watch the video "Getting to Know the World's Greatest Artists, Andy Warhol". 

I also have several books for children on Andy Warhol.

After the video I had the children paint green grass on a 12" x 9" piece of black construction paper. Some students used paint brushes and others wanted to use q-tips. 

The following art class I provided various colors of 4" x 6" pieces of construction paper. They were allowed to pick four pieces of any color. 

The children folded the papers in half and made flowers. 

After they assembled their flowers

on their grass they took q-tips and painted little black dots for the middle of the flowers (pistil and stamen).
