Kindergarten Art 

We began a new study based on the art of Alexander Calder. The students saw a short presentation showing several example of Calder's work, focused mainly on his bent wire portraits. A short video was presented showing Calder creating his wire portraits. The first step of the project was to create a wooden base for the wire portrait. Each student worked in the Maker Space sanding their wooden block to create a smooth surface. After sanding, the students painted their bases with white paint to prepare for the sculpture. They enjoyed working in the Maker Space and I plan on working in the space again with them.
