EXPLORING LINE & COLOR- Grade 1

Birch Bark Trees- Grade 4/5

The grade 4/5 split explored watercolor techniques such as "wet on wet", blocking out and using fine lines to add details to their work. They created these birch bark tree paintings by using masking tape to block out sections for the trees and mixing colors to create an interesting landscape in the background of their image.

Watercolor Trees - Grade Two

We decided to take advantage of this beautiful fall day and do our watercolor painting outside! The grade two students used the "wet on wet" technique to create a wash of color in the background and expressive lines with the tip of their brush to capture the details in the trees. They had a blast experimenting with color mixing and different watercolor techniques! In art class next week, the students will have an opportunity to go back into their paintings to add details or to create a second piece using the knowledge gained through this experimental watercolor lesson.

COLOR WHEELS

  The grade five and six students have been exploring color theory. They looked at the three major groups of color; primary, secondary and tertiary colors. In addition we have been discussing important color combinations such as: complimentary and analogous colors. They used liquid tempera to create color wheels using only the three primary colors to mix all of their secondary and tertiary colors.
