Kindergarten Fall Trees

This week, Kindergarten embarked on a whole new frontier in the art room...PAINTING! This may not sound very challenging, but believe me it can be. Luckily, this entire Kindergarten class is a dream, and they have done so well their first day experimenting with this medium. We also, are using something else new to them, called oil pastels. These are like thick, creamy crayons. They're one of my favorite mediums to use in the art room.  Here's how we created them!

This project just took one 45 minute art class.
