Our art, ourselves

An important part of kindergarten (arguably the MOST important) is developing a sense of self. This is where kids learn who they are, what their strengths are and what's important to them. They learn their place in the world and lay the foundation for a healthy mind and body. 

As a cumulative project, the SKs spent the month of June painting self portraits to bring some of this learning home. They had to look at themselves critically and reflectively to create something accurate. 

They started with a plan. 


After reflecting on the plan together, they painted backgrounds. As inspiration, we listened to a little Bob Ross to get the juices flowing. He has a catchy tune on YouTube. 



The final products are below. What does each painting reveal about the artist? Can you tell who is who? Answers are below.
