Kindergarten artists learned the secondary colors song and had fun learning about primary and secondary colors. We then got excited about trucks by viewing youtube clips of the upcoming Monster Jam that is coming to Grand Rapids in a few weeks! We were shocked at how those trucks and jump and smash other old cars and how sometimes, they even flip over! They make lots of tracks in the mud and aren't too worried about getting dirty!
We even had many giggles watching this truck video!
We drew sketches of two different trucks just like real artists do and then chose our best sketch to trace and color with secondary colors.
On the final day, we used monster truck toys and did some printmaking! We drove our wheels into some paint and printed them onto our frames! What fun this was!!!
Love this introduction to printmaking!! What degree of instruction did you give on the sketches?

DeleteJust loved this Kindergarten Monster Truck Printmaking. It’s such a great idea. I am a teacher at a Phoenix kindergarten and would definitely be using this idea in my class. Thanks for such a nice inspiration!
ReplyDeleteGlad you could be inspired. I think I was inspired by a project we found on Pinterest. :)
