Week 9 Art Project

This week we are taking a break from lines!! Since we are rowing The Story About Ping, I decided to let X5 work on a ducks art project. He had fun coloring and then gluing the yellow pieces of felt to the duckies!

A7 got to work on some Autumn art work. This time she used the "feathering technique".
Outline the leaves using a red and orange crayon, lucky for us Nina got A7 a set of
Crayola True to Life Crayons(They create wonderful texture and give a "painting" look).
Then outline the acorns with orange and yellow crayons(again we used our true to life crayons) and the caps of the acorns with a brown crayon.
Then use an eraser to pull the color toward the center of the nuts and leaves. This produces a "feathered" look!
