Kinder Square 1 Art: Rainbow Fish Sketches

My Kinders show great talent in this Rainbow Fish inspired project. And these are just their sketches! I gave them a tracer for the body and they followed a guided drawing (I drew and they copied me via Microsoft Paint and a document camera) for the rest. Each is a little different and very well done. 

Kinders: The Dot, Ish and Sky Color Projects

These are my Kinders very first drawings of the year. We read The Dot by Peter Reynolds and made shape drawings. The following week we made line drawings after reading Ish. This week we read Reynolds book Sky Color and mixed primary colors to make secondary colors. They now understand shape, line and color and will be ready for their first big art project, Pattern Owls. 

First Graders Are Awesome!

My first graders blew me away today with their amazing fish drawings. I did a guided drawing of The Rainbow Fish. Their fish drawings were better than mine!



This first grader said his dad taught him how to draw so well. Way to go dad! He sketched his fish like a professional artist.



This fish looks exactly like the Rainbow Fish. Maybe this student should be an illustrator when she grows up!
