September in the Art Room

Students are starting to get into the nitty gritty of their projects. Kindergarten and 1st grade are learning about different supplies and how to use them. We are using the words material to refer to supplies and method to refer HOW to use supplies. They are also comparing and contrasting different materials. So far we know about crayons, markers and colored pencils. On to pastels and paint in the weeks to come!

Students observe me demonstrate materials and methods

Then students set out to explore methods and materials on their own!
