Exploring Painting Center and Practicing Watercolor Techniques

Students from kindergarten to grade four have been busy exploring the painting center in the Byam art room! We have been practicing watercolor techniques and the students have been amazed to discover the range of effects an artist can get using just this one type of paint. (Did you know you can sprinkle table salt on wet paint to get a speckled look?) In the next few weeks, students will be learning about how to successfully plan out and execute a painting and will be introduced to more types of paint including tempera cakes and liquid tempera paint. We've been having so much fun!
