Kindergarten art inspired by the book "Art" by Patrick McDonnell

 

Kindergarten Artists read the book "Art," by Patrick McDonnell.  They were inspired by Art, the main character of the book, to create using a variety of arts media, including watercolor, colored pencils and markers.  We made art strips to display multiple pieces. 

 

Van Gogh Sunflowers / Third and Fourth Grade FUNflowers
