We are enjoying a week full of art! With the Trinity art show coming up next Friday, April 27th, we wanted to incorporate art lessons with the students. We started off by painting our handprints on a picnic table (thank you to Jackson's parents). It will be up for bids at the gala this Saturday! I hope everyone will be able to attend. It is sure to be a fun night.
We learned about block prints by painting the bottom of a muffin tin and flipping it over on paper to create a beautiful image. We have also learned about vertical and horizontal lines. Wrapping a rubber band around a small block created the perfect stamp. The children dipped it into paint and then made a vertical and horizontal line print. Then they noticed that there are vertical lines in the rainbow fabric at our windows and horizontal lines are made by the blinds underneath. Boy are they smart!!!
Jackson and Lily getting a closer look into their books.
Forester enjoyed coloring with crayon bundles.
Joshua was the birthday boy on Wednesday! Happy Birthday Joshua...
Here is Boyd making a symmetrical butterfly painting. The kids had a lot of fun dropping dots of paint onto one wing of the butterfly, folding it in half, and then revealing their beautiful creation!
Our art show is Friday, April 27th at 8:45am. You are invited to stop by our Pre-K wing and see all of our wonderful masterpieces. Also be sure to swing by the activities building between now and then to view our precious class quilt. Raffle tickets are on sale now and I'm sure you'll want to take our's home!! A picture of our quilt is coming soon!
