PRE-KINDERGARTEN . . . Bunnies popping up all over!

Bunny by Elle

Art in Pre-Kindergarten is all about experimenting with the materials and becoming more comfortable with the tools. Our bunny project gave us many different opportunities to discover how much fun art can be! We practiced our drawing skills as we drew very big bunnies on big paper. We outlined our bunnies in black crayon and then colored them in any way we wanted. The background landscapes were done on separate paper and painted. We drew a ground line and a sun or moon in the sky. Again, we were able to choose any colors of paint to fill in our ground and sky. We even learned how to wash our brushes as we changed colors too!

Here are a few more examples of our big bunnies popping up in our landscapes. To see all of our bunny scenes, follow this link to the Ranney home page of Artsonia.com.

    In my class, students are given the chance to explore different materials and fun new techniques as they develop their signature style. Some young artists love to draw with a pencil, some like to paint on canvas or create images in a digital format, while others prefer working with clay and molding three-dimensional forms. In my classroom, we use a variety of materials allowing all artists to experiment and figure out which type of art they like the best. At Ranney School, we place a strong emphasis on originality and celebrate artistic differences, always nurturing and encouraging the imagination of every student.
