Patterned landscape art for kindergarten
I'm always finding great ideas on Pinterest. You can find it here http://reliefteachingideas.com/textured-landscapes/
I just changed it a bit for my kindergartners.
We discussed patterns in art and found patterns on each other's clothes. Students were so excited to find that many of them were wearing a pattern! This was also a great link to math.
I taught them how to draw a landscape. You can click on the link above for directions. We discussed the difference between a portrait, landscape, seascape and a still life.
We discussed good craftsmanship in our art (coloring the shapes solid). This is so hard at the kindergarten level. They want to rush their coloring! My student teacher made a poster for the kids to reference to. Again, another idea found on Pinterest! You can find it here http://primarilyartwithmrsdepp.blogspot.com/2016_07_01_archive.html
This took about two, fifty minute class periods.
On the third day students painted watercolors over the drawings to create a crayon resist.
The results were all different. Next year when I teach this I think I will save it for the end of the year. My patience was a little thin after telling the students many times to go back and color in their white spaces!
