Kindergarten Landscapes

We are learning how to paint using watercolors this week.  The students are painting a sky and grass background that will be used next time in art class.  They will draw using oil pastels and create a scene that includes flowers and other details from their imaginations.  This project is also for the Art to Remember Fundraiser.
On the second day of this lesson the Kindergarteners learned about the medium of oil pastels.  We also read a book about the four seasons and discussed characteristics of landscape.  The students chose to depict either a summer or autumn scene and draw it on their painted background.
