Kinder Cylinder Hats!


Kindergarten artists have been concentrating on two and three dimensional shapes in their classrooms, so what better opportunity to make some 3-d shapes in the Art room! We began by looking at cylinders on our tables, describing the sizes and shapes. We then practiced drawing cylinders, learning about the parts of a cylinder along the way - ellipse, parallel lines, and the ever-important "smile" on the bottom. We then created a hat out of our cylinders, and went on to create our main artwork after lots of practice! We talked about who would wear our cylinder hats, and how we would use texture and pattern to make our hats more interesting. Here are some examples! 
The artwork above is supposed to be me! I think it's pretty accurate!!












They had a great time thinking of who would be wearing their new cylinder hats!

Thank you for visiting!
