ART CORNER WITH MS. AMES

The Painters in TK

Transitional kindergartners have been happily painting in art class. They are using the tip of the brush (so we don't mess up Mr. Paintbrush's fancy hairdo) and using a gentle pull to move their brush across the paper. We started with different kinds of lines in black paint and then added color with red, yellow and blue paint.
