Kindergarten Primary Colored Pete the Cat

Kindergarten artists have been learning about the art element of color. One of the aspects of color that they have been studying is primary color. We noticed how in one of the fun Pete the Cat books, his clothes were mostly primary colors. We used the art element of line and shape to draw our own Pete the Cats.

Kindergarten "Pete the Cat" & Primary Colors

Kindergarten artists read the book "Pete the Cat and his Four Groovy Buttons." We used our skills at finding shapes to help us draw Pete then learned about Primary colors when we colored him.

You can also see the book's video and song here on youtube: We had fun dancing and singing along!

Kindergarten Takes a Ride on the Primary Color Train!

Kindergarten artists read a book about Colors which showed how you mix the primary colors to make secondary colors. We also looked at the artist named Piet Mondrian and his artwork called Broadway Boogie Woogie. We noticed how he used only primary colors. We took a ride on the primary color train to his primary color world!

Kindergarten Piet Mondrian Fish

Kindergarten artists have been studying the abstract art of Piet Mondrian. Specifically, we looked at "Broadway Boogie Woogie" and and fun singing a song about Mondrian! We noticed how his lines go only horizontal and vertical and how he used only primary colors. We drew a fish and then designed him in a Mondrian way!
