Pre-K Primary and Secondary Color Vases

I teach a Transitional Kindergarten class once a week for 30 minutes. This class is for students who were just shy of being old enough for kindergarten. I try to give them art lessons that introduce them to using the materials correctly while also giving them some basic art knowledge. In a previous lesson, they learned about primary colors. For this lesson, we learned the secondary colors and then combined the two color groups into one project.

Students glued a white rectangular piece of paper to the bottom of the large green paper and decorated it with patterns and designs using markers and crayons in the secondary colors. They then traced a vase onto yellow paper and decorated in with paint in the primary colors. They glued green strips of paper down as the stems of the flowers and then cut out and glued the vase so that it covered the bottoms of the stems. They drew leaves using green marker and then cut and glued flowers using pink and purple paper and tissue paper.

They never cease to amaze me!
