I Ain't Gunna Paint no More! Day Two...

Day Two - The Challenge!
Where to start!?! The basic directions are to... find hidden pictures, hidden shapes, and special places and then bring them make them BOLD to stand out and catch our eye.

How to do that? Hmmm VERY VERY close looking, concentration, and stretching those imaginations.  We used oil pastels to start tracing shapes and lines in our artwork.  Shapes could be made with different colors positive shapes or where there was no color negative shapes.

 After we traced these shapes and lines... then we started to add other patterns of shapes and lines on top or around our paintings.

These pieces are beautiful and unique! From a distance they are bold and colorful.  When you take a minute to investigate them closely you will see amazing details our artists added.  From first graders to fifth graders we are building those creative thinking skills.
