Impressionism Animals
We talked briefly about Impressionism, Expressionism, and Fauvism...as far as color choices and brush strokes are concerned. The students then paint an animal with bright bold colors. This is one of my favorite projects the students do! They are all so unique (except the lions...I get a lot of lions. haha!)
Creative Color Wheels
Before the students did the above project, we reviewed the Color Wheel. I know they do this every year, so to make it less boring, all I told them was to paint a color wheel by mixing the primary colors (red, yellow, blue) but to be creative with how they made the wheel. Here are some of the results.
