Dreaming of a Home by our Kindergarten students
















 We read a story called


"Animal Homes"by 

Brian Wildsmith.


Here the artists saw 


many types of places 

where various 

animals live. 


We talked about what a 


home is. What does it 


do? Some responses 


were: 
   "It keeps us warm."          "It holds a family."We then talked about 


different ways a house 


or dwelling could be 


made. We created                 


dream homes where 


your house could be 


made of anything!


Rocket ships, candy, 
   
            toys , koala bear trees,            


                 club house , kittens.


                       These drawings will 


                               work into a printmaking


                                                            project.

The exploration of "home" is always deep and thought provoking at any age (My graduate exhibition was based on the concept!). What an exciting start you've made with your students on this rich idea. Wishing you all an exciting journey with this topic!
