Controlling the brush and the paint is what the focus of this project is. The 4th graders first created their charts using rulers to measure off the five sections that are used in this exercise. The students used this series of measurements to complete the drawing of their charts. Once the charts were drawn, we painted.
When painting we worked together through our sections. These sections each building and sharpening specific skills. These fundamental skills will be needed each time the students pick up a brush to paint.
In the these sections students would learn to: adjust the intensity of their color by using water, to carefully paint rounded shapes, squared shapes, and sharp pointed shapes, and finally to touch up any edges or colors that look unfinished. Manipulating the brush and paint with control is what we set out to do, as you can see our results were very good!
