Kindergarten Art Authors

It's only August, but the Kennerly kindergarteners are already hard at work creating their Art Books.  Each kindergartener will create pages to show what he/she learned in Art throughout the school year.  Right now, we are working on the cover, which has a title, author's name, and pictures.  We will also create a first self-portrait for comparison, as well as pages about lines, shapes, primary colors, secondary colors, rhythm, and an about the author page, which will have a final self-portrait.  Check out these photos of our covers--we are off to a great start!

Time to start...making ART!

Welcome back to the Art room!  After a great summer, we are back in our studio, learning about and creating awesome Art.  If you would like to know more about the projects in store for each grade, please go to my schoolwires website and click on "Art Room Documents."

Speaking of back to school, here are some photos of our second-graders working on their first Art project of this school year.  They wrote their names with permanent markers, "hid" the names with doodles and patterns, added color with crayons, and finished with watercolors.  You can see some of our finished works of Art in the bookshelf by the office in the Kennerly lobby.


Welcome, Miss Wong!

We have a new friend in the Art room!  Please welcome Miss Wong, our new student teacher.  She attends Southeast Missouri State and she will be joining us at Kennerly until October 15.  We're happy she's here!
