Well here we are, mid-September, and I haven't updated the ole blog until now... :) The first weeks of school are busy, what can I say? In both grades we've been covering the basic elements- line and shape. Kindergarten's Day 1 activity was just a free draw to let me see where they're at- many come to school and can't yet write their name or even hold a pencil so there's much work to do. First grade usually begins with a guided drawing of a cityscape, but after years of that same project I wanted to change it up. This year I decided to try out an underwater ocean scene and the kids loved it. They had so many of their own ideas and knowledge about underwater things (thanks, Finding Dory!) so they really turned out nice. I also decided to whip out the watercolor paint for this one, which I don't usually do this early in the year. I'm sure glad I did! These took about two 45min classes to do.
