In the past, I've given the kids colored pencils or water colors. What is really nice to use are the Derwent water color pencils - particularly the inktense pencils. The effect of watercolor without the mess. Even the little ones love it - Bubby draws the picture and they use water to make it pop.
But today, I wanted the kids to feel very special using my regular paints. My art instructor is very health conscious and only uses water soluble oil paints, so, today I thought we'd use some of the paint, but treat it like water colors.
I took some red, blue, green and yellow and put little dabs on a paper plate for each of them. I gave each a canvas board to paint on. I felt the lesson would go better if we all painted the same thing. I hoped the kids might learn a bit about blending, color theory, and possibly brush strokes. Well, that worked for Faigy (3rd grade), but not for Zehava (1st grade).
i think they both did a great job on their paintings!
This is Zehava's
This is Faigy's
and this one is mine.
