Kindergarten House Collages Finished

Did I mention I only teach boys? Hundreds of them...  Here is a portrait one of them painted at home to give to me. I think it is me. I might even be holding a paintbrush. Or a baton...or a club...  and I do have big feet. I was very touched. As one of many specialist teachers that sees hundreds of students per week, you often don't get the same constant sort of attention a classroom teacher gets.


Today some of the Kindergarten students painted the backgrounds of their houses. I love the textural feel to these artworks though aesthetically I think the houses got lost a bit. The students loved painting though.  And they all look so creative and individual. I couldn't believe the quality of brushstrokes at such a young age.


This student tried a horizon line!

Great composition!

This boy had a lot of fun...

A bit Van Gogh-like?




Though they were not supposed to "draw", this boy could not help himself
and how could I discourage such expression?
