Children created their 'oceans' using the wet-on-wet technique and the ocean creatures were created by using the wet-on-dry technique. The result is a painting with depth. The fish look closer than the ocean waves.

Wet-on-wet Watercolor explorations
This endeavour was both an art exploration and a science exploration. Children used watercolor pigment over very wet paper. Children observed the pigment work its way through the fibers of the paper. You too could do this at home with paper and watercolors. In Ms. Bickart's class these very wet paintings will be used as a backdrop for their plant collages which will begin next week.
To experiece children painting in watercolor is like seeing monks meditating.....such a calming experience for the whole class.
