The next project in our self portrait series was watercolor portraits. First, the children drew their faces while looking in the mirror using a pencil and eraser.

This week's Parsha was Noah’s Ark. The Kitah Gimmel children were really fixated on the rainbow Hashem sent to show that he wouldn’t flood Earth again.

Kitah Bet continues to explore mark-making in the atelier. Each new method the children practice helps strengthen their fine motor skills.

Kitah Alef seems to really enjoy working with paint. Observing this, they were offered a large canvas to paint in the Atelier.

Kitah Gimmel began exploring clay recently. The first time they focused on learning to use the clay tools.

Kitah Daled continued the thread of drawing to create their Thanksgiving invitation. The children first collected an assortment of leaves from the playground. The leaves were all shapes and sizes, green, yellow, red, and orange.

In the beginning of the school year, the KD children were offered playdough with ice cream molds.

The first few weeks of school have been busy! All of the classes have been working on projects centered around Rosh Hashanah. Every class has made honey jars to bring home.

For the past year, Kitah Alef has been exploring art through gross motor art experiences. They have been presented with a variety of mark making provocations that stimulate gross motor development.

It all begins with an idea.
