Kindergarten Landscapes

These simplistic horizons, I just love! Prior to this project we made imaginary creatures that highlighted the idea of texture.  Sorry I meant to post them around Halloween - they were awesome and still are.  It seems I am very backed up with featuring amazing art and artists on here.  Bare with me.  This time of year gets crazy busy.  It is the best time of year even so, and just because I haven't posted much, it doesn't mean we haven't be making wonderful things.  Back to the topic of texture.  Kindergartners were so smart. They noticed that Monet showed texture in his painting while O'Keeffe has a simple and smooth style of painting.  After all, people can make the same exact thing and it can be completely different.  In this case, both artists make Landscapes in very different ways.  Take a look at my slide show.  Kindergartner's enjoyed it and had great conversations about it too! 
Notice to the ways that they decided to show daytime versus nighttime - very creative.
