1st and 2nd Grade Art

We are progressing well on the Van Gogh landscape paintings. The students have finished all the color washes with tempera paints and are showing a good understanding of color theory, paint mixing and representational sketches. I am pleased with the care and interest each student is showing with their work and they are ready to begin adding details to their paintings this week. After the paintings are near completion, I may have them add more details using acrylic paint. I will see how the paint control is this week!

This is a sketch from memory from a 1st grade student of Van Gogh's Starry Night
