Kid Art

Sometimes my heart feels like a big yellow star, shiny and bright.
I smile from ear to ear and twirl around so fast,
I feel as if I could take off into the sky.
This is when my heart is happy.
 - In My Heart: A book of feelings,

by Jo Witek, Christine Roussey


* Edit*  Our principal bought every classroom this book

It explores feelings and helps kids understand the variety of feelings. Throughout the book there are cut out concentric hearts on each page. I can't really explain it but you could check out the link to see what I mean. So in addition to what I wrote below the art teacher read them this book today and decided to use hearts as the concentric idea for the artwork.


Ah, more kid art today. My kiddo wasn't in school today but it was a strangely calm day so I went with the class to art anyway. The art teacher had them do concentric hearts with pastel crayons and then water color over them. She based this on the artist Kandinsky and his concentric circles. A little info about him here
This is a collage of another classes hearts. She will put together the class hearts and hang them around the school. I'm sure looking forward to that!
