Monet and The Impressionists + Wayne Thiebaud and his ice cream cones

Kinder is working on their collage skills.  A ripped paper collage is creating their ice cream cones.
Why a ripped paper collage - definitely helps in building their fine motor strength!
This can never be overlooked - our quality of life changes dramatically when we are able to have better control in our hands and the strength to do even life's simple requests - like ripping paper.
How it's made : Ice Cream

I have also realized Wayne is very influential in our classroom... is it our love of desserts?

Monet and the Impressionists......
lighter brush strokes, brighter colors, less attention to detail, and inspired by landscapes and the life around them....
The work gives you the impression of the subject they are painting.....  so let us get inspired by the Impressionists!
More specifically - Monet!
