Finger Painting and Self Portraits.

Art this week we focused on Finger Painting. We taught the kids about Iris Scott and her technique of finger painting.Then we let the kids have at it. They made their Dads some way cute Fathers Day paintings. Shhhhhh don't tell Dad till Sunday though!:) Then we had the kids draw and color self portraits of themselves.We had them look in a mirror and discuss what they saw. We talked about about how wonderful it is that everyone is different, and how the world would be so boring if we all looked the same. We pointed out eye color, skin, and hair. Then we asked the children which features they want to include in their sketch. It was a lot of fun and each child did a wonderful drawing of them selves.
