We've had lots of fun creating art in October - monsters, pumpkins, and ghosts, oh my! One of my favorite projects was the series of ghost prints that each student created. Be sure to check out the full window display next week - they look so fun hanging all together!

Last week, all three classes drew dinosaurs during our guided art time. The wooden dinosaurs were created years ago by an eastern Iowa artist and some of his collection was donated to our school a few years ago. Several students have been interested in the large dinos that sit high in the art studio, so I pulled them down this week for still life drawing.
First, we talked about how our eyes are an important artist tool. We used our eyes to notice the similarities and differences between the wooden sculptures. Then we talked about how we can draw a dinosaur (or any object) by looking at the different shapes/parts and drawing one at a time. We started by drawing with pencil, then some artists decided to add color. While the students were drawing, I read two fun dinosaur storybooks - How Do Dinosaurs Go to School? and What the Dinosaurs Did at School. Regardless of the preschoolers’ artistic developmental level for drawing representationally, all the kids did a great job looking, noticing, discussing and drawing the parts of our dinosaurs. |
