In collaboration with their classroom study, Kindergartners have been creating art inspired by countries around the world. Below are two projects inspired by Brazil.
Colorful Collages
Inspired by Beatriz Milhazes
Beatriz Milhazes is a contemporary Brazilian artist. "Beatriz Milhazes’ is well known for her vibrantly colorful, kaleidoscopic collages, prints, paintings and installations which draw on both Latin American and European traditions." Kindergarteners talked about the work of Milhazes, finding many shapes, patterns and colors in her work. Her work also made us think of the rainforest, with flowers, leaves and water. Students collaged shapes and drawings of rainforest animals to make their art!
