Winter Cardinals

We are doing a one day painting of a winter cardinal right now. The kids did an AWESOME job today!

edit1

There is a certain cardinal that you might have heard of…I ‘m sure…that the kids know very well, and were very excited to talk about. They made the connection very quickly. I did not even bring it up!

We started with a simple line drawing with black permanent marker. I modeled it with them, and they watched a video on youtube. We looked at lots of images of cardinal paintings.

They had to make the sky light blue by using lots of water, and dotted the snow at the very end

Neon Animals

The kids finally finished their neon animals, along with all the other 700 kids who were painting this week. Reminder..don’t paint with every grade level at the same time. My drying rack was a conveyer belt, my clothes a paint magnet, my back hadn’t felt like that since pregnancy, and the constant water bucket/brush rinsing made my hands feel like they could crack like a piece of porcelain! I do love my job though! Now for some winter/Christmas art!!
