Please come see the 5th grade watercolors of DC and World landmarks. I displayed all 3 classes this afternoon in the first floor by one of the stairs closest pre-k building.
For this painting unit kids:
-learned the 2 basic techniques in watercolor, wet-on-wet and wet-on-dry
-Learned to begin with large shapes first and add details later
-Learned that details should be added on with a thinner brush
-Learned that colors become more intense when you add a second coat
-Learned that some artists choose to intentionally let their colors bleed into each other for the effect.
Please note that if your child's is not hanging on the wall (1) your child either did not complete it, (2) were in the group of works I just found in Ms. Otten's folder today.
