Chinese Peace Scrolls


The Kindergarten classes have been studying peace and have created art with various symbols and images associated with peace.  In honor of the upcoming Chinese New Year, they learned about scrolls and brush painting.  They looked at various Chinese symbols and broke them down into basic lines and dots.  With a watercolor brush, they learned to write the symbol for peace.  They made simple scrolls from craft sticks, paper and yarn.  They finished by discussing some scroll paintings from art history.
