Kindergarten Paints Lines with Kandinsky!

      Well, my kinders are following directions well so far this year! I've also learned how to let go of some expectations, and just let the art happen...because it's going to, no matter how much I try to control it!



      I've been cramming tons of vocab into these little sponges and here's a list of what I'm pretty sure they KNOW:
Line
horizontal, vertical, diagonal, zig-zag, spiral, wavy, free form
Shape
circle, square, rectangle, triangle, oval, octagon, star, crescent
Pattern
Variety (ooh la la)
Contrast (yes, i know...)
Watercolor/ Paintbrush/ Water cup/ Painting
KANDINSKY!

and....

ABSTRACT ART
  {   Like I said, I've been cramming these words everyday and they are saying them, so I'm assuming they know what they mean at this point.  :o) }
Here they are painting using watercolors...

painting contrasting colors over oil pastels...using a variety of colors
{oil pastel resist}


     Here's some of their finished line paintings and I'll add some of the shapes with patterns soon! They are getting painted this week!
