Here are some of the videos on color I use with Kindergarten. They are great fillers!
I always start the first day of art talking about the elements of art. This video is a cute introduction for K-1. It was made by a Kindergarten class.

Kindergarten:Talking Lines
In Kindergarten, we always start the year out with learning lines and color. This project is perfect for both! I always start out by showing the students actions for the different line families. They practice drawing them and then we play Simon Says using the actions for the lines. They love it! As they were practicing drawing lines, I went to each table and took the students' pictures. I told them they could look like they were blowing, whistling, talking, or singing. On day two, we talked about mixing colors. I told them to pay close attention to what happens when we mix colors today. As the students worked on a color wheel, I pulled them in small groups to a painting station. We used the wet on wet watercolor technique to paint their background paper. I told them it's like Tye-Dye. They thought this was pretty cool! The last day of production, I had their pictures glued onto their paper and they draw the lines coming from their mouths with markers. We culminated the project by doing an interactive review using an ActiveInspire presentation I made. This was a lot of fun! I think this one will stay in the rotation!

Welcome to the 2014-2015 school year! It has been kind of a crazy start, so this is my first post of the school year. I have had a change in my schedule and am finally settled. Most of my classes (except my new school-Shakerag) are into their first projects of the year and I am so excited to see how everything turns out!
Kindergarten-We are "Talking Lines" in unit 1. This project involves some technology, and I am so excited to see how they turn out.
First Grade-It's all about color! We are looking at different color schemes and using them to paint a non-objective design for the background of their collages.
Second Grade-We are looking at Aboriginal Art. Their artwork will have a personal symbol and lots of colors and patterns. Be on the look out!
Third Grade-We are doing a color study inspired by Kandinsky.
Fourth Grade-Contour Drawing and Zentangles. I am in love with this project! If you don't know what a zentangle is, then come back in about 5 weeks and you can see what they are and how they can be used in art.
Fifth Grade-We are talking about the Pop artist Roy Lichtenstein. They are creating self-portraits using his comic book style. They are so pumped about this project and very engaged. I can't wait to see the results!
Come back and visit in a few weeks and I will have some pictures posted of the projects! See you then!
