Children in 5th grade have been studying traditional paintings of water/ocean. They answered questions that required them to really look at the paintings. The questions were:
1. What colors were used in depicting water in these paintings?
2. The brushstrokes go which directions (vertical, horizontal, vertical strokes)
3. How long are the brushstrokes you see?
4. How do you think the colors were applied? which one was first and last, etc.
children will paint their 'water' this week and next week they will be adding their shorebirds onto their water paintings.
Half the children in art choose to stand while they work. They all are so focused on their paintings.
