Kindergarten Learns About Dry Brush Painting

Kindergarten have spent their last two art classes creating their dry brush snowmen. We first discussed what snow feels like, in order to begin a conversation on texture. We also read the book "Snowmen At Night", By Caralyn Buehner. While reading we used our "artists eyes" to really look at the colors on the snow at night. Finally we began painting and creating texture with our dry brush painting.

We are in the process of adding scarves, as well as pattern filled hats to our snowmen. My favorite part is the fact that our snowmen at night are also looking up at the sky-they want more snow!
