Geometric Shape Painting

In this fun and colorful Kindergarten art project, we divide our paper in half the long way then trace a square six times to create sections. Students are asked to draw a shape they know inside each square. We use construction paper crayons because they show up well on black paper. We discuss and practice drawing shapes first, and students may draw along with me, or come up with their own shape for each of the six sections. I then give students colorful pastel and florescent paint to brush over their lines. The following week, when the paint dries, we then outline our shapes using oil pastels and construction paper crayons.
