Kindergarten & 1st: Robert Indiana Word Art

1/18/2016

0 Comments

 
Kindergarteners and 1st graders were introduced to Robert Indiana, artist of the well-known "Love" sculpture in Philadelphia. We discussed 3D/sculpture versus 2D art pieces, and why we thought Indiana created such a large, bright display of love. We then  brainstormed 4-letter words on "something you want everyone in the world to have."  First graders brainstormed 4-letter rainforest words. Students then were taught how to use rulers to make a 4-square grid, and use their rulers to create bubble letters. Love was a common "thing we want everyone to have," but other heart-felt messages included "beds, safe(for safety), toys, home, arts, sing(for singing), pets, food, kind(for kindness), hugs.

Kindergarteners are learning more and more how art can send a message beyond the paper, canvas, or artwork--a vital critical thinking skill that enhances their ability to analyze images and the world around them.
