Kindergarten and 1 st  Grade Project Title:   Printing and Shapes Description: K-1 students identified the difference between geometric and freeform sponge shapes.  They practiced stamping these shapes into primary and secondary colored paint while developing a composition of their choice.  Next, colored pencils were used to add details and form, and geometric shapes were added for fun.
