Painted Snowflakes

Kindergarten artists are painting a snowflake on their "extra art day" (Monday rotation day). I read the book, Snow, by Cynthia Rylant and we discussed how no two snowflakes are the same. I pulled up many different snowflakes on the smartboard for inspiration and we talked about the lines we saw on the snowflakes: straight up-and-down, straight side-to-side and straight diagonal.
Children chose the 9x9" color of paper they wanted and used white paint to make their snowflake making sure some of the lines touched the edge of the paper. After the snowflake was on the drying rack, I sprinkled iridescent glitter over the top.

(more pictures will be added tomorrow after the paintings are dry)
