Kindergarten excitedly commented on some of the heart paintings of Jim Dine. They looked at the shapes and talked about the colors. We are also learning about the primary colors and we talked about how to draw a heart. Since we only have 30 minutes together, I gave them a handout filled with hearts and they practiced drawing them be tracing and then drawing on their own. The next time we met students were given the primary colors and we talked about filling our page with a heart or many hearts. I demonstrated how to paint so we did not mix all of our colors. We wanted to be able to see our primary colors. Students were so excited to see that sometimes the primary colors mixed a little and then made a secondary color. They worked hard to paint so that they did not end up with brown hearts! We added yellow and blue squares of paper and drew hearts with blue oil pastel.
