This morning the North elementary kindergarten students learned how to tell if a painting was realistic or abstract. After this discussion we looked at a pastel painting by Beverly Buchanan and walked through drawing a house in the style of Mrs. Buchanan. The students drew a triangle first and then added a rectangle underneath. The next step was to draw the roof line. We drew one line and then a parallel line a little bit longer. We connected these and drew the front of the house. They had the Buchanan print to look at and suggested we add a chimney and a porch. We also drew in the boards she showed on the side of the house. The students used markers in bright colors and finished with a beautiful drawing.
