American painter Jasper Johns inspired Dolvin kindergarteners to turn ordinary letters and numbers into extraordinary works of art! We learned how to draw a "bubble letter," which turns a line into a shape. Then we added stencils in the background, watercolor resist, colorful stickers and sparkly glitter... definitely an exciting change from boring handwriting sheets.
As a bonus, while we were adding the glitter in small groups, early finishers created a Jim Dine-style symmetrical heart monoprint, just in time for Valentine's day.
