Kandinsky Circles: 1st Grade

We spent a lot of time in first grade learning our color families! I used this project to drive it all home. We used oil pastels and/or crayons.

Color Families: Primary, Secondary, Neutral, Warm, Cool, Complementary Colors (Y&V, R&G, O&B).

I combined all of the pieces together for the display to achieve a really big wall of circles. The students loved the display!

More Kindergarten Shapes: Organic and Shape Family

Since I am at two schools with two different schedules, a lot of my classes finish projects at different times. I am sharing a few stand-outs from my kinders/1st graders projects on organic/free-form shapes and the shape family. The creativity contained within these children is always so astounding!




This student graded her own artwork, ha!

Kindergarten: Shape Family

This lesson allows for students to use the four main geometric shapes: square, rectangle, circle, and triangle. I borrowed this lesson from my student teaching experience!

I review the shapes with the class, pass out a paper with all four shapes, instruct students to color, cut, and glue!

After reviewing the shapes, I ask students to raise their hand and tell me an idea for how to use all the shapes together. This helps get the creativity flowing. A lot of my students did "Hickory, Dickory, Dock" in one class ; however, I did not get any pictures of these.

Here are the pictures that I managed to capture! I allowed students to pick out the color of construction paper they wished to use.

Kitty!


I love when I get their little hands in the pictures!!

Kindergarten: More Shape Lessons

Here is a compilation of some awesome results in Kindergarten. I've been working through shapes a little at a time. I thought these were so cute!!

First, take a look at the circles! I gave students a sheet of paper with four circles, had them color the circles, cut them out, glue them, and create a full picture!







I believe I already posted about the Triangles, but here are some I could not resist posting!



"Hang-gliding through the Himalayan mountains."
Seriously, so creative!




So much expression can be found in each student's piece! I am always astonished at the talent I discover in my classroom.
