relief, circles, paint and PreKinder!

The Prekindergarten students do one of my favorite projects.  I started this when I discovered TONS of cardboard circles in the closet, left from the previous art teacher. HMMMM, what to do?  I cut up some circles, cut up some regular cardboard, and had the girls glue them down to the large circles.  I encourage them to layer the pieces, and to tear off some of the paper to reveal the corregated texture of the cardboard.  Some of the girls will stand the pieces up on the large circle, almost like a sculpture.  The next class they paint the work, and during the third class they use oil pastels to add whatever they like.  These always are so expressive and beautiful.  Love them!!!
