Picasso---Art Center Activity

Just because we are done with an artist doesn't mean we are done with the artist.  This activity is in our art center for students to create during center time.

  

 
 

"It took me four years to paint like Raphael, but a lifetime to paint like a child."

Pablo Picasso

Pablo Picasso 2019

Our MWF students learned about the works of Pablo Picasso.  We learned about cubism and introduced and identified basic geometric shapes.  Students created a portrait inspired by Picasso's work. First we drew a few black lines and then colored in the shapes.

Next we place lots of eyes, noses and mouths in the center of the table.  

And hair!  Children are given short strips of construction paper and a scissors.

100 Wednesday---Got Milk Caps?

We love 100 Wednesday!  We are counting out 'unicorn food'.  Pink and purple caps make counting to 100 fun and festive!  This is an optional activity on Wednesday during center time.  Students have to count out ten small bowls and then count out ten things in each bowl. What do you have a lot of at home that your child can count? Coins, puzzle pieces, cereal, pretzel sticks, paper clips, tooth picks...make math fun for your child!

The Mighty Duck

These little ducks help our students learn their ABC's and 123's.

W is for Water---the Leak-Proof Bag Steve Spangler Science

Full Bloom

Our MWF classes celebrated the Japanese festival of 'hanami' prior to spring break.  We are going to work together and paint cherry blossoms on a large tree.
