Our Creative Side

We explored watercolors today and talked about tips, techniques, and care for using them in our classroom.
When I said we had about 20 minutes to explore, Makenna reminded me that "You cannot rush artists!" So true...
Here is our group of artists:



Here are some paintings done by professional artists who use watercolors:

Still Life with Watermelon and Pomegranates by Paul Cézanne (1839-1906)

Duval Street by Eliot O'Hara (1890-1969)

      The colors are really neat in that one...like the sunset! My favorite is the Van Gogh one because I like how the colors seem too bright for the scene.
