Shapes and Shades

Exploring Colors in Art

View Lesson

In this Kindergarten art lesson, students will explore the elements of color and shape through a creative collage-making activity. The session begins with a discussion about primary colors (red, blue, yellow) and basic shapes (circle, square, triangle), supported by the use of a color wheel. Students will then cut various shapes from colored construction paper and glue them onto a piece of white drawing paper, forming a colorful collage. They will have the opportunity to add details with markers or crayons to enhance their artwork. The lesson concludes with a gallery walk where students can share their creations and discuss their color and shape choices, reinforcing their understanding of these fundamental concepts in art. Overall, the activity promotes hands-on learning, creativity, and artistic expression, while allowing for assessment through observation and discussion.
