We have been working on "Close-Ups of Scarecrows" for the past two weeks. This project had so many curricular connections as well as looking great! We learned that an artist can show only part of a figure-hence the "close-up". We also learned about horizons. So in the first lesson we drew our scarecrows in crayon. The next week we painted them using watercolour tablets. This is where we learned about mixing colours to make new colours. We did not have green, brown, purple etc. so had to mix basic colours to make new colours. It was an adventure.
Next week we will be giving our scarecrows a personality when we write about them. Using our writing focus of "ideas and details" we will write about our scarecrows using many details. I hope to make a short video of all of the art work so all the students' scarecrows can be seen on our blog.
These pictures are from the painting class.
