The kindergarten artists have been very busy creating in the art class. We started a construction and architecture unit that emerged out of the kindergarteners' fascination with legos and building blocks.
The students used imaginative thinking to design their own series of buildings on a street. Some friends even chose to collaborate and make a huge castle!
Using cardboard and recycled materials we discovered strategies to make our buildings stay upright. We found that supporting walls, stacking things and reinforcing them with tape helps our creations stay together.
We then learned about the color families of 'warm' and 'cool' colors. The students chose one color family with which to paint their buildings. We will be adding even more decorations next time.
