The 1st Grade observed the wonderful
landscapes of Heather Galler before beginning their own paintings. Galler uses
simple shapes, bright colors and patterns, patterns, patterns. We tried our own
versions of these pictures using a new art supply, PlayColor paint sticks. Like
its name, the product is paint in stick form similar to a large tube of
lipstick. Students drew a farm landscape, cityscape, or ocean view picture with
sharpie and added color with the paint sticks. They absolutely loved the ease
of the paint sticks—no brush, no wash, no fuss… The paints worked wonderfully. We filled in our patterns with colored permanent markers. The color of the first layer of paint had to be chosen carefully so that the patterns would stand out. They turned out beautifully! Tuesday, October 20, 2015
