Birds are OVER, clouds are UNDER the wire. Clouds are Organic, while birds are Geometric The kiddos had not used the feathers, and were delighted with the chance. I came across a lesson on Pinterest which used geometric shapes to make "birds". It was just cute enough to try with the Kindergarten Crew. It gave me the opportunity to review Primary/Secondary colors, as well as introduce Geometric/Organic shapes. It involved so much opportunity for vocabulary, that it is a new favorite in my book. I read a Bird Book to inspire us, which reviewed the concept of Near and Far. We were able to discuss contrast, in the context of using a variety of colors- red beaks on red birds just don't show up. And, Over/Under also came up too. Such a fun little lesson, packed with so much good art information. Little details like the wiggle eyes and the feathers encouraged the kiddos to stay focused and continue on even when a little tuckered out. I am pleased with the results, and I will be showcasing them in our upcoming Art Show.
