Kindergarten Art

The students had a great time creating the sand mandalas last week in art. They learned how to control their glue enough to draw with the material, did a fine job (mostly) at keeping the sand separated and tried to not spill the sand. They learned about symmetry and how colors look differently when they are placed next to opposing colors. We continued the work with smaller versions on the designs and greater control was shown with the materials. The work is hanging in the first floor hallways between the toddler classrooms. We will begin a series of self portraits today, one of my very favorite processes to present to the Kindergarten students.
