The Sweetest Foxes in the World!

Ready for a sneak peek of the Kindergarten Art Projects that will be on display during the MMS Holiday Show?

 Scroll down and see the beautiful foxes the kindergarten class made today!

We began the day with a quick warm up drawing in sketchbooks. The drawing emphasized breaking the image of the fox up into shapes that are familiar and easy to draw. 

With the warm-up complete the kids began work on their final pieces.

On large pieces of black construction paper that kids used light colored pencils to draw the initial shapes that make the fox (upside down triangle for a head, circles and half circles for eyes, oval for belly etc.)

Then the kids traced the colored pencil lines with black oil pastel so that the edges would really "pop" when the color was added. 

Now for color! Black for the nose and eyes!

White for the belly, tip of the tail and circles around the eyes.

What color will your fox be today? Artist's choices included: pink, orange and red.

Finally the kids built the world around their foxes, blue skies and green grass! 

See the final pieces below -- and view them in person at the MMS Holiday show!
