Kindergarten primary color art lesson

Kindergarten: Primary Color Cup Prints | Lessons from the K-12 Art Room

I LOVE LOVE LOVE this lesson! It's colorful, fun, and full of cheer! :) To begin, start by reviewing color mixing with your students. If you're teaching upper elementary they probably already know that a primary color + a primary color = a secondary color.. but do they know that a primary color + a secondary color = a tertiary (or intermediate) color? This lesson is GREAT for teaching about those tertiary colors! After reviewing, give students a sheet of heavy drawing paper and have them…

This is the perfect/easy lesson for Kindergartners to learn about warm and cool colors. We started by reading the book Cool Dog, School Dog.

Biv video by They Might be Giants (on YouTube and every bit of awesome!) and then we dived in to painting our very own rainbows. Here's a clip of the lesson I shared with my students: I have 30 minute art classes with my little friends. This was how I introduced painting rainbows with tempera cakes on that very first day. My kindergarten friends have been painting up a storm with watercolor…

I am linking up with Fourth Grade Frolics for Monday Made It. This year I am going with a bird theme in my room. It just kind of happened. I already had a great picture I bought last year at my school's art auction. Then I happened upon these, and that's all she wrote! I have a small space above some of my cabinets in my room. Over the years I have tried to put decorative items on the soffit, but to no avail. It was just too small of a distance from cabinet to ceiling and nothing looked…

Kindergarten artists have been learning about the art element of color. One of the aspects of color that they have been studying is primary color. We noticed how in one of the fun Pete the Cat books,
