Kindergarteners Create Relief Sculptures

After learning about primary and secondary colors, and conducting experiments using watercolor, mixed colors, and painted papers, kindergarteners are now using color and lines to create their own relief sculptures. “Students were shown an image of Frank Stella’s relief sculptures and we discussed what types of lines he used,” says art teacher Cathy Withrington. Inspired by Frank Stella, students cut paper into various strips and used those strips to create exciting relief sculptures based on amusement parks. Lines transformed into roller coasters as pieces were added to their sculptures.

 

Adds Ms. Withrington, “The kindergarten art curriculum covers the fundamentals in art: color, line, shape, texture, form, and pattern. In this particular project we studied color and line and how these two elements work together when making artwork.” MORE PHOTOS
