ITALY: Kindergarten Capitignano Geraniums

     As a part of my Art Inspired by Italy Unit my Kindergarten students made these adorable and beautiful geranium collages.  They colored the background with crayons, then painted sheets of paper in brown, greens, and reds. Then they cut out a rectangle for the flower pot, round circles for the flowers, and long strips for the stems and curvy shapes for the leaves. There were geraniums all over Capitignano where I stayed this past summer in Italy and they just made me happy. It was a fun project to do with my Kinders and a bit challenging, too.
