Opening Studio Centers

Visual Journals are already in use.
 This week we opened the painting center with liquid tempera paint.  All students learned painting expectations, where to find smocks and supplies, and how to clean up.  Many children love to paint and the drying rack was filled with colorful experiments.  Students were thoughtfully discussing color mixing as their pictures shifted with each wet layer.

We will revisit these paintings when we talk about collage next week and think about the big question "When is artwork finished?"

Technique and skill come with engagement, care and hard work.
Many artists were excited to paint!


The soft opening of the supply center for grades 3 and 4 allowed for the beginnings of figures made by 3rd grade friends.
