SEPTEMBER/OCTOBER 2013 FIRST CLASS

For the first class, students painted leaves and added haiku.  Since it was a first class, materials were limited, and the colors were mostly limited to black and white.

PAINTING A WATERFALL

This week students painted a waterfall.  I did a demonstration based on "How to Paint a Waterfall by Tom Jones" on Youtube.  I used black paint, and a spray bottle to make the mist at the bottom.  The students painted theirs with color.  One student, Linda, did a painting  in black and gray, and when it was dry, she tinted it with color.
