Pre-K Elephants

0 comments
Pre-K & Kindergarten classes drew elephants based on Rembrandt's elephant sketch.  After they drew their elephant they used water-based markers to outline their drawings.  Lastly, students used water to "paint" their elephant pictures. 
I absolutely love their elephants!

The lightness and darkness of a color is its value.  All classes have been discussing the variation of a hue based on how light hits the object.
3rd Graders have been working on value in painting and creating tints and shades of a color.
