Circle-Themed and Circle-Filling Art and Activities
All about circles and the letter O. This is a mixture of traditional preschool approach and loose parts. One project is open ended process art (which is what I offer 95% of the time, while the other was more teacher directed (glueing o-shaped cereal onto an o.)Both were received well and each challenged the students in different ways. I am ok with teacher directed art every once in while. The loose parts design they came up with was amazing! I provoked it, then one student added to it, then another, and one child finished it while the other children worked on the next circle. I love watching them work and focus on a truly creative design. I used quilting frames for the circles.
