our amazing pre-k / kinder teacher had taken great pics of her class to make silhouette pieces out of black paper for president's day.
she had the pics left - i made black and white copies and brought pastels to class.
together we looked at many pictures of pop art - warhol portraits and photoshop examples of people with fun colors.
what we did:
1) we looked at each black and white photo and discussed where a big area of color could be drawn.
2) then we had an art talk about 'normal' colors for things and 'crazy' colors like skin color and hair color. it was a blast to hear them draw from prior experience and point out 'oompa-loompas' and 'grinch'!
3) after picking face and hair color - we picked background colors - it had to be a complimentary color (previous lesson) and blend it in without diluting (good word) the color
this is my favorite kinder lesson so far!
