Perhaps you are new to my blog or you would like to see some of my favorite kindergarten art projects from the past. Look no further! Here is a round-up of my 10 favorites.

Also, I updated my blog header, because I wanted people to be sure of what my title means! I realized that visitors might not quickly understand what it means. I chose “Art is Basic” as my blog name because I believe (like you probably do) that art should be a basic, fundamental part of education. Art should be a necessary and vital subject, not just a frivolous “extra” class to give the regular classroom teachers a break. So, I changed my header to reflect that thought. I was thinking that people might have interpreted the word basic to mean “simple or easy.” Art can be simple. Art can be easy. But art can also be vastly complex, complicated, difficult and heart wrenching. So, I wanted to make sure that first time visitors to my blog understood what I meant.
Great post! Your kindergarten projects are so varied and colorful. I love that you do weavings and papier mache with the kinders. As a fellow blogger I’m on the same wavelength – my best kinder projects post comes out Monday 🙂
Rina, cool! I look forward to seeing yours. Kindergarten can be a challenging grade level, especially at first!
Nice post – thanks for sharing. I love the change to the header – and the message. I couldn’t agree with you more. I wish all educators valued art as a core fundamental.

Love love love it! All of this and your blog! I am new to your space but I knew right away what exactly you meant by Art Is Basic originally anyway and couldn’t agree with your words more. I homeschool & send to public school and I have noticed through watching her these years, thee very thing my youngest learns through IS ART in our case. Thank you for making all these resources available. I also know a bunch of art teacher bloggers that might be interested in sharing their grades art classes here; I’ll send them your links!
Awesome! Thanks so much for writing. I still kind of go back and forth about my blog name, but now it is what it is and probably shouldn’t change it. I don’t want people to misconstrue the word “basic” to mean that art is easy.. so that’s why I put the words below the header.
