Nighttime Adventures inspired by "Flashlight"

In Kindergarten Art Class we read the magical and oh-so-fun book "Flashlight," by Lizi Boyd. Boyd is a Vermont artist and author, so her whimsical illustrations of a young boy's night walk through the woods look somewhat familiar. 

Kindergarten artists imagined their own nighttime adventures and used gold, silver and white paint on black to paint them. 

Beck

I imagined that there was a porcupine, a deer and a beaver around me.

Oliver

A human found a fox and a deer. The fox and the deer lead him to his tent.

Giselle

It was a beautiful night. It was nice. We saw an animal-- an owl.

Sawyer

There was shiny glass. I have a flashlight. I see deer.

Kinley

It’s about all the creatures getting scared because there’s a little ghost right there in a spot nearby.

Kai

He shines the light on the porcupine. The stars glow in the dark.

Carly

An owl was flying in the sky and then a deer came. Then all of the animals started to be friends.

Liv

The owl was hiding in the tree. The deer was chasing after the owl. Then there was a bear.

Annamae

There was a ghost and a rabbit and a baby ghost. It was a dark, dark night.

Steele

I’m walking into the woods and I saw a turtle, then I saw an air balloon and a flower.

Piper

I saw an owl and a rabbit and a deer and I was wearing a pretty nighttime dress made out of moss and leaves.

Kindergarten Nighttime Adventures

Kindergarten artists looked at the book "Flashlight," by Liza Boyd  (a Vermont Artist!).  They took themselves on an imaginary outdoor nighttime adventure.  These paintings show what they saw.  

Robbie

My picture is the night when there are a lot of stars and I see a pile of gold.  There’s a big golden finger cloud on top of me and it’s shooting out a claw.  

Adelaide

This is gold around the trails and this is a flower and there are clouds and there is a star.

Navin

I am in India and I see a rainbow grasshopper with a bird.

My picture is all about Night.  I always see the stars making an animal or a shape.  They are making a porcupine.   There are stars and a moon.

Mine is about a big giant monster with a porcupine and some rocks.
