I am a Visual Arts Specialist at the Mason Early Childhood Center. I teach all kindergarten students (roughly 560 students) and 4 Autism class/SCSF (Social Communication School Fundamentals) and 2 Resource Room classes. I see kindergartners once a week for 30 minutes. We have a rotation on Monday's, so once every three weeks I will see your child 2x that week. Monday rotations are only 25 minutes long.

Line Sculptures
Kindergarten artists are creating primary colored line sculptures in the art room this week. We reviewed the lines learned (straight up-and-down, straight side-to-side, dotted, zigzag, curvy, bumpy and loopy) and the Primary Colors (red, yellow and blue). Children are getting a half sheet of black construction paper to glue their lines to and are using short and long primary colored lines for their sculpture. We also discussed the difference between 2 dimensional and 3 dimensional art. I taught the children how to bend lines and wrap lines around a pencil to make their lines "pop" off the paper and the children are using Just a dot, Not a lot of glue to hold the paper strips down. The sculptures are coming home the same day your child has art since I do not have space to hold all of them. I will hold onto 2 classes of sculptures for a bulletin board display.
