Signs of Peace

This week, the kindergarten artists will explore signs of peace.  We will make art and look at art with a theme of being peaceful and kind.  

Pablo Picasso used simple lines to tell a simple story:  

Be peaceful.  

Look at these pictures he made, and think about how they make you feel:





We will begin by making a 3-D dove from paper.  The dove is a symbol of peace.  Ancient Japanese culture, Ancient Greek culture and the Christian Bible all use the dove to symbolize the end of a bad time or the beginning of a peaceful and hopeful time.  Follow along in this video to make your own peace dove!

Now look at this image by Pablo Picasso.

What do you notice?  

How does it make you feel when someone gives you a gift?

How do you feel when someone opens a gift you give them?

Think of a friend you love.  What makes them a good friend?  What are some things about them that you admire?  Follow along in this video to make a picture about friendship inspired by Picasso's drawing.
