Kindergarten Teepee Continued

Kindergarten artists are creating the background (the space behind the main object in a picture) for their teepee. To make the background, the children are drawing a horizon line (where the sky and the ground meet). The horizon line will be mountains and artists can choose to draw a zig zag, curvy or bumpy line for it. After drawing their horizon line, children are using liquid watercolors to paint their sky blue, the mountains green and the ground brown. Then, they use a paper towel to blot any paint that is too wet before gluing their teepee on the top.
To glue the teepee, children are remembering to use "Just a dot, not a lot" of glue (4 dots:1 in each corner and 1 in the middle). After gluing the teepee, children will add sticks to the top that are precut pieces of construction paper.
