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.

Kindergarten Project: Line, Pattern, and Color

Students begin by tracing a circle ant then use our 6 basic lines to divide up the page. Next we add patterns of the students' own choosing. Using pattern sheets, students are asked to use different patterns to fill the sections on the outside of their circle.


Once the drawing is complete, students will outline their pencil work in black crayon to protect the lines from paint. The crayons will provide a wax-resist against the water activated tempera paint.


For the last step students will divide the space inside their large circle and divide the space with their favorite of the 6 basic lines. This area will be outlined with black crayon also but then students will be given pastels to color this inner portion.
