Fourth grade made beautiful bouquets using complementary colors for their flowers and mixing tints to add value. They were excited to mix paint and were very successful with the project. It was a wonderful project to boost self esteem in the art room. So many students were worried that they could never do this project when we began. But I broke it down step by step and they were successful. I gave students circle tracers and told them their flower petals should touch or go beyond the circle in order to get nice large flowers. They had to paint each flower a set of complementary colors and of course, they loved mixing their tints when painting. They made symmetrical vases and created a light to dark scale, then outlined flowers with oil pastel, next chose background paper, then chose table paper, made stems and leaves, glued it all together and finally used a chalk pastel to create a shadow under the vase.
