Kindergarten has been working with shapes and lines to create our colorful clowns. We talk about the emotions that we feel when we see a clown and what colorful costumes, hair, and makeup they have. This crayon resist used crayons and watercolor as the media. We traced all our pencil lines in crayon and then painted in with watercolor. I also painted with tempera at my other school. Students tried to cover up all the space on the paper with their clown and polka dots. Patterns were used on the buttons and stripes. These creative clowns are always so colorful!
