Monsters Love Colors

Kindergarten is learning about Color. 

We read Mike Austin's children book Monster's Love Colors.

We talked about creating a monster and what it could possibly look like. (How many eyes would it have? Would it have horns, ears, or antennas? Would it have sharp teeth? Or a tiny nose? Etc.)

Then students got busy creating their own warm or cool monster with oil pastel.

They first drew their monster using white oil pastel on 9 x 12 black construction paper. 

Then they decided if their monster was going to be a warm or a cool color. After coloring their monster,  they colored  the background warm if their monster was cold...or hot if their monster was cool.

Last, they outlined all their lines and details with black pastel.  

They turned out so cute!
