So you may be wondering; If the rest of the school is painting then what are the Kindergarteners doing?
Well I decided to do something pretty special with the Kindergarteners. We are learning about additive and subtractive art making. First: The students lay down a layer of color. Then I painted a layer of tempera paint over their colors. Third the students got to Scratch away the layer of tempera to reveal their beautiful colors. They were all so excited to see their colors reappear.
If you wanted have a conversation about this Project with your Kindergartener you can ask them questions like:
1. What are some examples of additive art?
2. What do you need to do to make art subtractive?
3. Where else do you see subtractive art?

If you want to do this at home here are the “How to” steps.
1. Color a whole piece of paper with color crayons. Be sure you apply a thick layer of color so the paint does not seep into the paper.
2. Mix Tempera paint with a little bit of liquid soup.
3. Brush a layer of paint over the layer of crayon.
4. Take a broken pencil and scratch off a beautiful design.
