Kindergarten Crowns

 RES kindergarten artist have been preparing for their castle celebration in the art room. Kindergarteners at RES study medieval times and castles in the spring. In the art room we create special crowns to wear to the castle feast. We talked about royalty in medieval times and then discuss if we'd like to be a king, queen, prince, or princess. First we cut out, and painted our crowns with our magical, glimmering metallic paint. You can only imagine the ewws and awws from our kindergarten artists when they got to use the special sparkly paint. Later, we connected to the learning of shapes that  we've been building upon all year when as we drew our gemstones. Each artist tried to draw at least five different types of shapes. We looked at pictures of real gemstones for inspiration. The details they added were incredible. Later they got to wear their spectacular crowns to their castle feast. You can see it was a BIG success!
