Pigeon Paintings

 

This funny story, Mo Willems' "Don't Let the Pigeon Drive the Bus," was the kindergarteners' introduction to drawing using combined shapes.  After we assembled our rectangles, circles, and triangles into pigeons, we learned about primary and secondary colors and sampled them in watercolor. We learned much about craftsmanship and using painting materials correctly, and some classes had a little extra time for adding crayon textures.  This project always comes out fun and colorful!
