Kindergarten Color Monsters

In Kindergarten, we started the year off by reviewing/introducing the colors.  We watched some fun videos that display colors by Sony (their Bravia t.v advertisements) and then we read a book- Monsters Love Colors, by Mike Austin.

This group of kiddos were all so good at identifying all of the colors and calling them out, I think we are going to have a talent filled year in the kindergarten art room!

For the project, the students colored in circles that I had drawn onto the paper with the necessary colors.  They were then instructed to think about how they could turn their circles into monsters!  They were all very excited with the opportunity to create their own monsters, they all turned out very unique and had great details!

Here are a few of our Monster Circles:

Kindergarten Monsters and Colors

Kindergarten completed this project earlier in the school year, we read the book Monsters Love Colors and we then looked at the imagery of the book and all of the different marks that were made throughout the pictures.  The students were then given the opportunity to explore their own mark-making skills with paint splatters, crayon lines and blowing the paint with straws.  After the backgrounds were completed, they were then instructed to make their own monster who made those marks.  They had a lot of fun using their imagination with this project, some of the monsters are so creative and detailed!
