2nd graders, used wet-on-wet technique to have wet paint spread on a wet paper surface.
On the right side, there is an example of how a wet-on-wet works in watercolor as well as a students' work (focusing on how the color spreads into one another).
Students customized their Vejigante Mask with bilateral symmetry, arrangement of facial features, and customizing their own patterns through repetition.
Kinders witnessed determination through the read-aloud of Walter's Wonderful Web, where Walter faces the challenge to construct a structurally sound web. I connected this to the art expectation "T is for try my best!"
To bring their webs to life, students used watercolor sticks, applying bright colors to highlight the shapes and lines they had drawn and attached hand drawn fall leaves. Through this process, they practiced shape recognition, fine-motor skills, and creative problem-solving while connecting literacy and art.
K-405 attached Popsicle sticks and foam pieces to enforce
shapes recognition and pipe cleaners wrapping to mimic the spider webbing.
