Kindergarten students are learning about texture! They discovered three ways of discovering whether something was textured – 1) by looking, 2) by touching, and 3) by making a crayon rubbing. By laying a piece of paper over the textured surface, they rubbed a dark crayon over it, and if a design appeared, they had found texture! Students explored our campus to find examples of texture and were encouraged to look for textured surfaces in their own homes as well. When they returned to art class they told of discovering that lego boards, coins, and even cookies all had texture on them! Then they created their own textured surfaces, as they rolled crocheted doilies into soft clay and this week, they painted their designs with brightly colored glazes. Stay tuned for some beautiful examples of this project as they come out of the kiln. As Kindergarten students learn about line, shape, color and texture, they will be able to use these elements of art to create realistic drawings and paintings.
