Kindergarteners created these lively collages after looking at and discussing a self-portrait print by Andy Warhol and a collage by Henri Matisse. We talked about what materials the artists used to create their artwork and how the materials affected how the work turned out. Kindergarteners noticed the bright, loud color in Warhol's work, and I pointed out that sometimes you can tell a lot about a person from their self-portrait- Warhol loved attention and parties!
We talked about what kinds of shapes you could use to create a self-portrait, such as an oval for the head or a triangle for a nose. I demonstrated how to use glue sparingly in order to take care of the art materials. I also reinforced basic scissor safety and skills such as turning the paper when you are cutting a circle.
