Kindergarten -- Polar Bears


Kindergarten students learned all about polar bears for their next project.  We discussed their habitat, how they survive, cubs, food sources, and much more!  The students learned about cropping a picture, and as a result we focused on the head/shoulder area of the polar bear.  We drew out our polar bears with pencil.  Students focused on using shapes to create the bear.  From there, the students used a cream colored paint to fill in their polar bears.  They used a splattering technique to create snow falling from the sky with white paint.  Once the paint was dry, the students used oil pastels for facial features and vine charcoal to create shadows.  They did an excellent job!
