First Day of Kindergarten & 1st Grade Art

We had our first week of school!   Beth Carter posted wonderful pictures of her students drawings on the first day with the title “I had art today!”  I borrowed the concept and made sheets for my kindergartners and first graders to take home on their first day of art class.

Here is the PDF download of “I Had Art Today!”

First Day of Art Class Picture

I had my students draw a picture of themselves as an artist or a picture of themselves in class with their art teacher.

A child's drawing of a person beside a tree under the sun, with text "My art days are Tuesday & Thursday,".
Child's drawing of a girl, tree, and easel with a frame and caption: "I had art today! My 1st Grade Art days are Tuesday & Thursday.
A child's drawing of an artist, a cat, and a dog inside a frame with the text "I had 1st Grade Art today!" and art days listed.
Child's drawing of a person on a giraffe by a tree and pond, with text: "I had art today! My art days are Tuesday & Thursday. 1st Grade Art is fun!
A child’s drawing of a person standing by a flag is shown on a worksheet titled “I had art today! My art days are Tuesday & Thursday.” Markers and an eraser are nearby—perfect for Kindergarten art or first day activities.
Two children's drawings are displayed in decorative frames, each labeled "I had art today!"—a perfect way to showcase 1st grade art or Kindergarten art from first day activities, with spaces for names and art days filled in at the bottom.

Here is the sheet if your kids only have art once per week.
