Kindergarten- All sorts of artists!

At CSES, we are currently making art around the big idea of Culture.  Kindergarten is learning that people make art in all cultures around the world.  These people are called different things depending on what type of art they create.  The first class, students worked as potters and learned that potters create art out of clay. They worked hard exploring clay and creaing their pinch pots.  Of course they all LOVED being a potter because who doesn't love clay!? :)

This week, students worked as sculptors creating paper line sculptures.  We talked about the difference between 2-D (flat) and 3-D (popping out) and how we could create 3-D lines.  Students had so much fun making these line sculptures because they sparked their imagination!  We had many invisioning a skate park. amusement park, or playgound in their creations.  These sculptures were so vibrant and beautiful that I decided to display them all together in the hallway around our artist spotlight.  Everyone who visits agrees that these sculptures are eye catching and beautiful!  Come by and check out all of our kindergarten sculptors' colorful sculptures!

Next week, students will explore the Japanese art of Gyotaku (fish rubbing) printing!!  Come back to check out this cool form of art!
