Mrs. Gover's Art Room

Since the first week of school, students have been eyeing all of our glorious paint bottles on the shelf asking, "When are we going to get to paint?" That time has come, and the students are very excited! The painting center has officially opened for all classes and students are learning how to use watercolor paint, tempera cake paint, and liquid tempera, as well as how to do crayon resist. Since it is such a popular center, I thought I would share some photos! In the next couple of weeks we will be learning more advanced painting techniques, learning about the color wheel, and viewing and discussing some famous paintings.

I wanted to share a video from this week which shows some of our wonderful Byam kindergarteners working in our art centers including Drawing, Building, Painting (which just opened, and the kids are thrilled about!), Sculpting and Collage Center. Our centers are slightly modified for our youngest artists, and they are so excited to explore different art-making materials each week!
