Kindergarten artists have really focused on drawing themselves this year. Their self-portraits were the focus of K5's Art Show this past February. Up to this point, all of the self-portraits have been about how people look on the outside. But in this lesson, students explored making art to share what's on the inside!
Kindergarten is beginning a brand-new IB unit about symbols and how they are used in our society. I asked students to think of symbols that represented themselves. Students spent the first day of this project drawing their favorite things- favorite colors, foods, movie characters, places to visit, sports teams, etc. They also drew symbols representing their favorite thing about school and what they wanted to be when they grew up. On day two of the project, students cut out each shape and glued them to an outline of a head that I provided. On the final day of work, students painted the remaining spaces of the head. We then cut out the finished paintings and mounted them to a background.
