| Lots of pumpkin expressions |
First grade students learned about stacking this week. We started by reading a favorite fall chapter book by
Dav Pilkey. This is a great book to introduce a number of skills to kinders. I read one chapter a week and they have an accompanying project. Chapter one tell how Dragon stacks six small pumpkins to create a scary jack-o-lantern. Students are introduced to the concept of stacking in art by using a small pumpkins stencil. They discover the proper placement of the stencil each time to create the stacking. Compositions are completed by each student individually to show a spooky theme. For Chapter 2, students create a symmetrical mask and for Chapter 3, color mixing is used to create a picture of a pumpkin.
These are projects from Chapter 1.
