Kindergarten: Fine Arts & Language Arts
The Utah Fine Arts curriculum suggests masterworks and artists for your kindergarten students to study. This presents a good opportunity for you to integrate your Fine Arts and Language Arts Curriculum.
Show your kindergarten students the paintings and asking questions such as:
- Could that be you in that picture?
- What are you doing in that picture?
- What is that person thinking in that picture?
- What would you be thinking if you were in that picture?
In addition, have students:
- Use words to describe the location, colors, things and shapes in that picture.
- Tell or write a story about the person in the picture.
- Listen to classmate's stories about the people in the picture.
- Ask questions about the people in the picture.
- Snow Queen, Lee Udall Bennion
