__**Kindergarten-**__ Students, using all of the colors of the rainbow, have made works similar to the artist Alma Thomas. Students have experimented with color mixing and then learned how to create a color wheel while FINGER PAINTING!!! These painted papers were used to create a primary and secondary colored solar system collage. Students will also mix colors of clay to create clay pinch pots. Throughout this unit students will also be introduced to warm and cool colors which they will use in underwater paintings.

First graders just finished learning about the works by Claude Monet, specifically his waterlily paintings. Students created a pond painting using Monet's techniques of lots of color and visible brushstrokes. Next students will be working on their weaving skills, while reviewing cool and warm colors.
