Kindergarten art students are making a storm of snow fun. First, we folded paper and cut out shapes on the sides-it was amazing when we unfolded the paper-the shapes repeated 4 times to make symmetrical patterns that look like snowflakes. We decorated the white paper with white oil pastels, then painted the snowflakes with shivering COOL colors and guess what? The white decorations magically appeared! Ask any all day Kindergartener what the 3 cool colors are!
Working in groups, we built a snowman…we cooperated to glue our snow balls together, then mixed the cool colors with white paint and discovered that the colors got lighter! Using bubble wrap we printed with our light cool colors all over the snowmen…our hands got so messy we even put some handprints on.
Next week when the paint was dry we worked together to create details for our snow friends.
