Red, Yellow, and Bounce



Last Friday was the first of four Art with Bounce classes offered this fall at Bounce in Meridian. (You can still register for the last three!) The kids' ages ranged from 2 -5. They were so sweet and we had a good time together. We learned about artist Piet Mondrian. We learned about what things in his paintings were the same (repetition) and what parts were different (variation). All the shapes were rectangles, but some were big, some were medium and some were small. We also learned that when it comes to glue, a dot is a lot. The kids did a wonderful job using their glue properly.

I always like to emphasize to the children that they are all different and that is good. When we looked at the finished art work, we noticed how everyone had different pictures even though they all started with the same tools. Each picture was special and unique, just like each child.
