 Giving kiddos opportunities with the elements of art helps them to express themselves in unique and different ways. I try to focus on the different artists maybe once a month and just introduce new ways, new elements, new ways of creating artwork. Sometimes I'll let them free draw and draw whatever they want, but other times I give them boundaries or limitations on how I expect their art to come out. We focused on the Kadinsky circles last week and this was a fun project to talk about how he uses color and pattern and layers. So when we did our project they were given the background as a rectangle and many options in the circle patterns to use. They just had to make sure that they used the sizes correctly, so the largest circle on the bottom, followed by a smaller one, then a little bit smaller one. And I didn't really give them an expectation on how many circles to use just so that you could see the pattern underneath the circle behind. Art is such a great way to express the kids thoughts and dreams and values through pieces of work.
