About this School Project (Kindergarten - Positive/Negative Hearts)
In Kindergarten, we continued our study of how Art Expresses a Point of View by looking at themselves and emotions. We talked about how love is one of the most powerful emotions one can have and how the symbol of the heart represents that feeling. We made a positive and negative heart. First, students folded a white paper in half. They used sharpie markers to create a repeated pattern or line design on each half of the paper. Once complete, students used watercolors to paint each side of the paper in rainbow color order. While the paint dried, students folded a smaller black construction paper in half. Students drew half of a heart from the fold of the paper. Next, students cut on their line they just drew, making sure to cut through both papers, so that when unfolded, the half heart became one full heart. Students learned that the empty space is called negative space and the full heart or object is called positive space. Students also learned that when you have identical shapes or objects from the line that it is called symmetry. Finally, students glued the black construction paper hearts on each side of the painted paper.
