Continuing in our study of Impressionism the 5th graders began their work with watercolor. To introduce the medium and help with controlling the elements of watercolor: paint, water, and brush. To to this we are working in a series of watercolor exercises.
In this particular exercise the students were to use the colors of their choice and create a series of lines that bent through the page, overlapping, curving, crossing, etc. but never touching. This help specifically with paint and brush control.
Even though it was "just" an exercise, the results showed both the individuality of the students and their design sense. It was really enjoyable to watch them work.
