Kindergarten students began the year by studying a portrait by Romero Britto. Usaing the smartboard students were able to see how Britto used basic shapes and lines to create his art. After identifying the shapes and lines that artists use, students set out to create their own clown portraits. We began with the hair. Students created their own crazy clown hair by drawing 5 different kinds of lines. We then noticed how the lines created shapes on our paper and students colored the kooky shapes with oil crayons. Once the hair was complete we moved on to our clown's shirt. Students learned how to repeat lines and shapes to create a pattern. Last but not least students created a face for their portraits by choosing a large white shape, a circle nose and drawing their own shapes and lines for eyes and a mouth!
