Genesis 2:7 (NLT)
"Then the Lord God formed the man from the dust of the ground. He breathed the breath of life into the man’s nostrils, and the man became a living person."

Art carries something that does not fade. It carries the mark of its creator...life has been breathed into it. Art is imbued with this life by its creator - in creating art, we imitate our Creator who first breathed life into us.

K / 1st Grade Project: Collaborative Circle Painting




In this project the students move from table to table with only one instruction: make circles. Using only their hands to spread the paint you can see in the pictures above the the wide variety of circles that are created. Students rotate through each of the tables in the room so that they can work at 4 different stations.


The table sized papers are then cut into small pages that are given to students, each student receives two of these smaller sheets. With the smaller sheet students are given crayons, colored pencils, and markers to add more details. Using outlines, drawing patterns, or coloring shapes in adds a finishing touch to these circle paintings.


Above is the circle painting with no outlines, below is the same painting with outlines.
