First Grade
The students studied Kandinsky in an individual and collaborative piece that will be up for auction at the Knight of All Knights Auction this weekend. They used watercolor pencils with watercolors on square hard stock. Each student created their own Kandinsky-inspired square.
Preschool and Pre-K
The Preschool and Pre-K students used oil pastels with watercolor to create these images based on the book “Singing in the Rain.” The technique we used was to blow through a straw to create a splattered paint look.
The Pre-K students first drew a study of the giraffe and then moved on to watercolor hard stock. They recreated their giraffe with color pencils, watercolors and Mod Podge.
