Elementary Art-Kindergarten: Joan Miro is the artist inspiration for this lesson. A painting generated by the imagination is the end product. Students start their imagination paintings with a curving, crossing line that ends at the beginning. A new concept of shapes that have no name (different from circles, squares, triangles, etc.), and how to identify a shape is introduced. Students also learn that red, blue and yellow are primary colors, and thus very important for their ability to create other colors.

Elementary-Kindergarten Busy Bees Art Project: We practiced curving lines (vs. straight or zigzag), painting with a variety of tools such as a fork, sponges, thumbs and a paint brush. Overlapping shapes, counting to five (for the little bees) and the role of bees as pollinators, were also part of this lesson.
