Kindergarten Art

We did not have a class last week, but should now have a steady rhythm of classes. The last class we created observational drawings of apples. The students began to slow down their process and truly look at their apple and not draw from memory. Extra details were added with colored pencils, a table line was added to create a background and then a watercolor paint layer was applied. In addition to learning the observational approach to drawing and creating, new art vocabulary was introduced. We talked about the focal point of the piece (the apple), the background and how to add a horizon line so the focal point would not be "floating in space."
