Kindergarten Insect Paintings

Kindergartners have been working on both drawing and painting insects from real images of insects. The children should be taking their sketchbooks home this week, so look out for it in their backpacks. For these paintings children used a 3-step process 1. painting the background, 2. painting a silhouette of the insect and 3. adding the details.
You can work with this at home by allowing your child to paint over a painting from the day before that has already dried and see how they could rework the painting once it's dry. Also, buying various sized brushes will make your little artist aware that different sized brushes make different types of lines and they might purposely reach out for one or another once they have practiced with them enough.
