Love Runs Hot and Cold

Hot & Cold Hearts done by Kindergartner class

Happy Valentine’s Day friends! I did this lesson with not long ago and I thought I’d share it with you for Valentine’s Day. I crammed a lot into the lesson with this kindergarten class but they really got it – I showed them Kandinsky’s Concentric Circles – which lead to defining the word concentric – then since Valentines was on the way we decided to do concentric hearts. I showed them the color wheel and shared the idea of hot and cold colors. I gave them the rules- 1. they had to draw concentric shapes; 2. they had to separate hot and cold colors. Then off to the art tables first to draw then to paint. They loved what they made and I loved watching them I hope you love it too! Have a love filled, creative day!
