Kindergarteners were asked to contemplate the difficult question of, "What is Art?" as they mixed the primary colors to make an abstract painting.
We watched this clip from Daddy Daycare to learn how to "look at abstract art" with our imagination. This helped them dream up a creative title for their piece as they squinted and tilted their heads (you have to see the clip below to understand).

There are two versions of this finished project. One is the paper collage. We printed the photos and our wonderful parent volunteers helped to cut them and glue them onto the masterpieces. The other version was created digitally. I have a tutorial below if you want to see the process. Students posed as if they were looking at their own artwork in front of our green screen. This was then digitally layered on their masterpiece and uploaded to our online art gallery on Artsonia. View all the finished work here.
Art can be so many things! This AMAZING little Fugleflick is the perfect way to introduce the different forms art can take including Sculpture, Still life, Portrait, Figure Drawing, Landscape, Graphic Design, Abstraction, and Film. See the video or watch the live version performed by a few staff members and myself at last year's District V-Show.
