My Special Visitor's...for the Third Time :-)

The art room was graced with the presence of the kindergarten classes today. Since I only teach 1-5 grade, I like to meet the KG students at least once before they are in first grade. Today they came to the art room to complete a painting project that also involved printmaking.

What a joy. The KG students have been to the art room two other times this year for projects. 

The paintings were based on Monet's Poppy Hill.

I really loved having the kids in the room and seeing the younger siblings of my 1-5 graders. Some of the faces are close to identical!

Grade 1: Monet Bridge

Monet's Japanese Bridge  and Water Lilies one of my favorite Monet paintings and my first graders put an awesome spin on the famous painting picking a bridge color of their own and swirling their paint colors to make mesmerizing backgrounds.
