Kindergarten Monster Truck Printmaking

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!!!

1st graders learn about primary colors!

First graders read the book "Mouse Paint" by Ellen Stoll Walsh. They created their own cartoon mice on a wall and showed their understanding of primary and secondary colors by coloring the mice primary colors and the wall secondary colors!
