Kindergarten lions

There's nothing like studying animals with elementary students. They love it! Starting with a great subject matter for practicing a technique or tool is how to get to get everyone excited about what they are learning. In kindergarten we studied the king of all beasts, the lion. We focused on basic shapes to create these amazing pieces. After drawing the outline, kindergarten practiced holding a paintbrush appropriately and controlling the paintbrush while painting. The end result is awesome.
