How can it be February????? Really.... We are moving way to quickly towards graduation. This week we are learning about the letter A and getting introduced to artists. Of course we are all artists and pretty much anything these days can be art, however, we will be looking art some very famous artists and their work. To welcome February, we started our month by painting these really cool "Mondrian" inspired hearts. Piet Mondrian was a very famous artist who used only three colors and & two primary directions. (A very basic description of his style and my apologies for really "dumbing" it down...but we are only in preschool.)
Now... I will admit that I added the lines prior to painting, but the children did a really wonderful job taking their time and staying inside the lines. I think they turned out great.. but if the children would have truly used their creative expression there would have been no blank space in those hearts. This was one of those times when they really followed directions. (Don't worry... expressive painting is in our plans this week and the children can't wait.)
