Unit Overview: Students read the book "Dragons Love Tacos" and created a stacked taco drawing using pencils, sharpies, and oil pastels. What can I say ....
Kindergarten is the last class of the day. And let's be honest with ourselves, we are totally craving some tacos (and maybe margaritas) come 4:00 P.M. But since we can't eat the tacos, we may as well draw them. This gave students the opportunity to review pattern and create something from their personal life in art. (Making the tacos they like, with the toppings they like.) Some looked a little like a hot mess of a taco. Others looked like they could be on the cover of Food magazine. All of them looked delicious. And we left art class a little hungrier after these scrumptious lessons.

Unit Overview: Students created collage monsters using hand-painted papers to reflect the artistic style of Eric Carle. Eric Carle is a great artist to study because of his unique way of creating collages. He uses paper, but the paper he uses is paper that he paints. His method of creating an artwork to cut into pieces to create a new artwork is a way to teach young minds that some art is preparatory, and not permanent (well, semi-permanent depending on how they pack their backpacks). These are a few cute monsters students created using their own class painted paper.
