Picture Writing Preparation

Students in our class joined together with Mrs. Wrigley's first graders to learn how to use two new art techniques that can be paired with crayon-resist watercolors.  Just as we did last week, students are preparing and learning skills that will help them in creating a realistic fiction story complete with watercolor illustrations. Today, students began learning new techniques that will be available during this upcoming project. The techniques introduced today were salt and saran wrap. Students tested these out working collaboratively with peers from Mrs. Wrigley's class.  Students engaged in experimenting with the salt and saran wrap while completing a mini nature illustration. INQUIRE with your child how these new techniques enhanced their watercolor painting!
