Kindergarten Art

I have missed seeing my Kindergarten students the past 2 weeks! This week we will begin a longer project based on the paintings of Marc Chagall. The project involves text, drawing, painting, oil pastel and collage. We began the project by looking at several examples of Chagall's paintings and talked about the use of color, fantasy and the feeling they experienced when looking at his work. What sort of things did Chagall like? Why did he use the colors he used in his work? Does his work tell a story? These are just a few of the questions the students were asked when they were studying his work. The process should take us up to Winter Break and possibly extend beyond the break. This is a very creative group of young artists, I am excited to see the work they create as they are inspired by Chagall.
