A week of painting

Going with the process not product theme that I started this year, we have had a week of nothing but painting. Started with monochromatic work. Kids got one primary color tempera and mixed a shade and a tint. Nice results.

Then tempera again, but all three primary colors plus white and black. Kids got a six section palette to mix colors.

Finally watercolors. We did a wash the first day to give a nice painting base. Adding details to the wash for two days with smaller brushes.

I'm blown away with the fun, but hard work keeping all ten classes clean and done in half-an-hour!

Lots of pictures on the school web page!
