The last project the kindergarteners have been working on is a observational drawing of sunflowers. The students learned about van Gogh and saw some of his artwork. Giant (fake) sunflowers were placed around the room and we noticed features of them, especially the shapes of the petals and leaves. After coloring our sunflowers, we added spirals and dashed lines to show our knowledge of some features van Gogh "liked" to use. Then we painted over them with watercolors. They are beautiful- I am so glad I got to work with the kindergartners this year. See you next year!
