Look for Square 1 Art packets in your child's Tuesday folder today! 

Square 1 Art is a fundraiser that can take your child's artwork and turn it into great products for you to purchase!  These products are wonderful keepsakes and gifts for family and friends, and also make great GIFTS.  Your child has been busy making beautiful artwork that can be made into many fun products such as magnets, t-shirts, mouse pads, ornaments and much more!

Rainbow Lines

Kindergarten students created these Rainbow Lines in art class last week!  The first day of this project, they learned to identify the 6 main colors of the rainbow and "rainbow order".  The next day, students drew a variety of lines, cut out their lines and then glued them to a black background paper.  This lesson worked on identify colors, lines and fine motor skills.  Check out their beautiful art below! 

Shapes and Lines

This week, my "Firsties" learned about different kinds of shapes- geometric and organic.  They used oil pastels to draw geometric shapes and filled them with different kinds of lines.  Students then used watercolor paints to fill in the background with organic shapes.  Check out their amazing artwork below! 

Shape Fish

On the first day of art class, kindergarten students learned about shapes while practicing their fine motor cutting and painting skills. They made sparkly rainbow fish using a paper plate, bleeding tissue paper and glitter.   Check out their beautiful creations below!
