Kindergarten Frida Kahlo inspired Watermelons

Nothing says summer more than Watermelon! I brought in a lovely round melon and a big pyramid-shaped watermelon slice for the students to observe. We read a book about Frida Kahlo and looked at some of her still life paintings, especially Viva la VidaWatermelons. The students painted a patterned round watermelon and then slice shapes as well. The watermelon paintings were cut out and the students composed a still life composition with other painted papers from the school year.
