It has been all about the gingerbread in the art studio these days! We brought in the display case, and a few 5 dayers transformed it into a gingerbread village. You can see their creations in the 5 day window this week. During guided art time, the 3 day and 5 day classes heard The Horribly Hungry Gingerbread Boy and we noticed that even though it was a different story about a gingerbread cookie the cookie still "came alive" and was out running. Then we had an "art challenge" to create a gingerbread drawing with black sharpie. We used traced tape rolls to help us make a round head, then talked about how to draw each part of the body. Finally, we added color with watercolor paints. The finished portraits have so much personality! All three classes heard the story The Gingerbread Man Loose at Christmas (the ICPL has a whole series of these books if you're looking for some fun books to check out!). We decorated a paper gingerbread "cookie" and then drew them a place to be "on the loose"! The locations are imaginative, varied and so fun to hear about from the artists! The kids have been doing lots of other fun gingerbread activities in their classrooms, as well - I'm sure you'll hear all about it!! Happy Holidays!
