Kindergarten Flower Update

     At Brimfield, we are currently working on our flower unit where we sculpt clay flowers and make a flower painting.  You can see this lesson here.  At Suffield, I usually take the kids outside and we draw the tulips in our front yard.  At Brimfield we don't have flowers like this, so I was trying to think of a solution when I ran across a great lesson from Art with Mr. E.  Instead of reading Fredrick we read a few books about spring and talked about the similarities and differences between 2D and 3D artworks.  Instead of going outside, we drew pictures of flowers that I have from old calendars and magazines and loosely followed Mr. E.'s studio process.  I love the results and thought I'd share! (We're still working on finishing the sculptures!)
