Kinder Animal Shape Paintings

My kindergarten artists have been busy learning how to draw from observation.  We began by learning how to look for and use a combination of geometric and organic shapes to draw what we see. I had a variety of animal figures that they worked from.

We then learned how artists use horizon lines to portray a sense of space in their work. After adding a horizon line behind their animals, young artists traced their drawings with a sharpie and began adding color using crayons.
