On Friday, I told them that our first trip around the world will be back in time, over 30,000 years ago. What better place to start our world tour of art, than the beginning of drawing. I read the book "The First Drawing" by Mordicai Gerstein which does a great job setting the stage for younger learners to understand the early human need to draw. After the story, I showed students photos of real cave art and asked them to pretend that they were a cave family with friends at their table. Together, they would create a collaborative cave drawing on a large piece of paper. I dimmed the lights and played sounds from a cave on my phone, to help these creators get in the zone. Using chalks and oil pastels, the kindergarteners did an amazing job working together and creating cave drawings! they also made a small version to take home with them.
