This super-fun project was inspired by kindergarten's current IB unit, which is about exploring what creativity is, how to be an original thinker, and what it means to be curious and to ask good questions. In the Art room, I want our kindergartners to "think outside the box". I talk to the kids all the time about how they can see the world with their "artist eyes" and that it's okay to have a completely different idea from someone else. To me, that's what it means to be creative! For this project, we were inspired by the contemporary artist Hanoch Piven. His art consists of collage-style portraits using anything and everything! Often, the "stuff" he uses to make someone's portrait gives clues about that person's personality or occupation. Here are some examples of Piven's work: Then our kindergartners got to experiment! We spent one whole class period making as many faces as possible with lots of different materials. It was fun to see how everyone used similar objects, but in unique ways! In the next class, students chose one of their designs to glue down to a background they had already made. Here are some of the completed designs!
