Welcome to Art Class at B. Bernice Young School.
Virtual Learning Week 9
Young School Distance Learning Artists are Soaring to Success!
This collaborative and interactive art project was created in past years to celebrate Young School students being respectful, kind, and safe throughout the school year. Each student decorated a feather for the display. It is inspired by street artist Kelsey Montague.

Kindergarten Art - Hermit Crab
A hermit crab is a crustacean.
Hermit crabs carry their home around with them. Yikes! Can you imagine having to carry your house around with you?
They use other animals' shells for a home and as a result are nicknamed "robber crabs."
A hermit crab has ten legs.

Materials: construction paper, scissors, glue, crayons, markers
Step 1: Trace your hand and cut it out. This will be the body of the hermit crab.
Step 2: Trace a small paper plate and cut it out. This will be the shell. Add a spiral inside of the circle. Use the scrap paper to make two big eyes for the hermit crab.
Step 3: Cut tan squares and glue them to the bottom of blue paper to represent sand. Add waves with crayons and markers or paint bubbles using a paper tube.
Step 4: Glue the hermit crab’s body (red handprint) to the sand. Glue the shell (white circle) and make sure to overlap a bit over the wrist of the hand cutout in order for it to look like the crab is coming out of the shell.
Step 5: Add details including seaweed, coral, shells etc.
