Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

We want to give our kindergarten children the chance to do a number of paintings of their classmates and discover what makes each of them special. It is our hope that each child will have completed three paintings of their classmates and these paintings will show their reflections of how they see their classmates in many ways.

Measurable Outcome(s)

We wanted the kindergarten children to learn about figure painting and drawing. Over this week they drew and then painted figures of their fellow classmates. We wanted them to take special note about their classmates and come to realize that everyone is different and special. This instructional desire was borne out in the figures that were created.
