Scotty C. and his heart are full of love!
Tis week in Kindergarten and Pre-School Art classes at High Point, our students studied the work of Jim Dine, a contemporary pop artist. Jim Dine is famous for his work with everyday objects and especially his hearts. The students viewed many of the Dine hearts and then created their own heart. They were encouraged to fill up their heart with "love" in the form of a variety of colors, shapes, and patterns. The drawings and colors represent all the different things they have to love in their life. Some of the topics the students came up with were: family, pets, different foods, their teacher, and Art class. This lesson allowed the students to connect emotions to the creation of art. And just in case you didn't know, hearts are not only for Valentine's Day!
