Food

Today the 1st and 2nd grade continued their study of food.

After brainstorming different fruits and vegetables, each student selected their favorite fruit or vegetable from the list. They received watercolor paper and sketched a simple fruit or vegetable on a plate.

Next, they painted the fruit or vegetable using a 'wet on dry' watercolor technique (painting wet watercolor on dry paper) to make the fruit or vegetable bold and bright. 

The last step was to use a 'wet on wet' watercolor technique (painting wet watercolor on wet paper). Students lightly wet the background of the picture, then used a small amount of paint to create a light wash.
