Kindergarten artists looked at several different images. Some were
paintings, some photographs and some were cartoons. We reviewed what a
background was and then discussed foreground. A background is far away
while the foreground is up close. Following directions carefully, we
divided our papers into six squares and traced a heart in each square.
We then talked again about texture and drew a texture in the background
of one square and then drew the same texture in the foreground of the
adjacent square. The result is that they are opposites. Using paint
dabblers, we colored the foreground and background, in the same manner,
reversing foreground and background.
