3rd Grade Art

The third grade has completed three projects since the April art show. First they created trees in the style of TR Mack. Mack said he starts his paintings without a plan, letting his pictures develop as he paints. It is an unusual approach but his pictures are beautiful as are the third grade pictures.
 Their next picture was a stained glass scratch paper picture. After sketching a picture of their choice, transferring it with white transfer paper to the black scratch paper, and getting a wooden stylus, they began scraping black paint off, revealing a transparent, colorful image--perfect to display on a bedroom window.
The final picture for the year was an oil pastel lion portrait. After sketching their lion heads with black and white oil pastels, students finished them adding two or three other colors, blending the  colors to create shading and highlights.  A textured mane created the crowning touch for this king of the jungle.
