The 4-6 classes ended the year with a project exploring brightly colored summer landscapes. We began by looking at some paintings of flowers, suns and oceans. Students then worked on sketches that needed to include an enlarged subject that went off at least one edge of the page. I also gave the students the choice to include some elements similar to Japanese prints, such as enormous waves or stylized sun rays. After drawing on the large paper, we covered the lines with a black glue. This gives the lines a dynamic and fluid look. We then filled the rest in with vibrant liquid watercolors. The finished paintings were a great representation of summer!
