Yes it is spring, but we are still wrapping up with winter paintings! Most of my fourth grades will be finishing this project after spring break. We look at some famous landscapes and discuss what the artists have done to create the idea of space in their paintings. We also look for clues as to the season of the paintings. When the students get to some winter scenes, they pay close attention to the color palettes. Students are learning some new watercolor painting techniques while demonstrating space. They learned how we can block areas to keep them white (our trees) until we are ready to paint them. Students learned wet-on-wet for the sky and dry brush for the tree bark. Here are a few examples from my class that is finished.
