This is my first entry for the 2012-2013 school year.  The children have been busy creating lots of artwork since the school year began.  I had to post these adorable pictures of my preschool students showing their paintings proudly.  They learned about primary colors and secondary colors when creating these "blotter" bugs.  I borrowed this lesson idea from a fellow art teacher, Katherine Ludlow.  The children had a lot of fun finding out what the colors made when they were mixed together.  I had them use oil pastels to draw the legs, eyes and wings for their insects.  The next step will be to cut them out and paste them to a background.
