Adapted Art Classes

I have 2 classes of adapted art (SCSF room students). One class is kindergarten, the other is first grade. I have been working with the classroom teacher on themes and sticking to the theme each month they have/teach in their room. For the month of August and September, kindergarten had a beach/ocean theme. First grade had colors, shapes and counting theme. While the students are in art, they take sensory breaks at the sensory table which I change out monthly and also do stringing, put-in tubs and feel different textures. 

Kindergarten made sea horses with dot markers and the background being tissue paper. They also finger painted paper, used sandpaper for the sand, painted their hands multiple times and used tissue paper for seaweed to create and under water scene. Finally, they used dot markers again, added beans for gravel and glued down and colored a fish on a paper plate for a fish tank. 

First grade students started off requesting colors to paint a large piece of paper. When dry, I gave them the letters of their name to add tissue paper on. Next, we worked on recognizing circles and they painted with cardboard tubes in the primary colors. Then, we focused on triangles and created an owl and a black cat. We also practiced square and rectangle and created a robot and a turtle. I love how all of the art turned out!
