Philadelphia Flower Show

Well, we can't actually go to the show, but everyone knows that Spring is coming when the radio starts advertising for the Philadelphia Flower Show! To prepare for what Spring will bring, Kindergarteners worked on observational drawings using silk flowers. Before we started, the class talked about how artists have to learn how to look and to draw what they SEE, not what they think a flower looks like. We talked about the shapes, lines, and textures that are hidden in each part of a flower. An artist hint: imagine yourself as an insect... what would they see?
