Art: Kindness Stories


First grade has begun an exploration of the human figure and how it can be used in art to tell stories. The girls have been sharing their own stories of a time when they showed kindness or were shown kindness. They identified the important action in the story by using a frozen pose with a partner. 

The girls also drew themselves using ovals, and are now constructing a jointed puppet using small, medium, and large ovals. This model will help them create narrative drawings and short films to tell their stories!
