Outer Space Aliens.... by PreK!

The PreKinder girls learned how a line can bend and become a shape!  We looked at geometric and free form (organic) shapes.  They drew an outer space alien using shapes.  Since no one has really seen one (we think!) except on TV or in the movies, the aliens could look any way we wanted!  They used  light and bright colored crayons, and pressed hard.  I told them that, during the next class, they would see magic!  They painted over the crayon with black watercolor to create the "outer space."  They were so amazed when the crayon "beat" the watercolor.  I told tham that the crayon does not like the watercolor, we will have to see who wins!  The are constantly yelling out "The crayon is winning, the crayon is winning, Mrs. Brandt!!!"  Love that enthusiasm!
