Talking Points

• Shapes are all around us! Can you find something in the room that is a circle? Remember, a circle is round like a ball. Let's draw a circle together.
• Colors can be mixed to create new colors! Red and yellow make orange. What happens when we mix blue and yellow? Let's try it out with our colored pencils.
• Art can tell stories about the past. Today, we will learn about a famous artist named Vincent van Gogh. He loved to paint sunflowers. Let's create our own sunflower collage in his honor.
