Art: Discovery Paintings

Imagine being told you can use many art materials but could not paint what you already know. That was the challenge for kindergarten this week!  They used the familiar materials from the Painted Quilts project: crayons, colored pencils, markers, graphite, tempera paint, and watercolors. They started with a continuous line and then explored and discovered new techniques.  Ask your daughter what she discovered? Here are some to share: making a border or frame; blowing on watercolor to make twig lines, and putting water over marker.
