Artistic Pursuits - Lesson 14: Project 14
I wanted our small art group to have more than one go with blending tempera paint for backgrounds.
So for the first run through we worked with blending just 2 colours, blue & white for the base for a collage type picture.
The children (& the mums) also had a go at practising basic shading with lead pencil.
We used 2 of Mark Kistler's 3d Drawing Lessons off his paid subscription web site, School of Imagination. For those interested in having a free go with quick 3d drawings, you a can find some interesting freebies on Mark's You Tube spot.
I think the children did a great job and each piece expresses their individuality (smile).
Belle got the fish's eyes, above, just right - making sure those jelly fish knew who to listen to!
Bobs wanted to be sure his fish had s.i.z.e, he really enjoyed drawing the jellyfish
The picture above was a great achievement for Daisy who often struggles with pencil control
Dan's picture, above, has a wonderful textured finished - unplanned but so effective!![](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjDnvvVy4X0MTDGY2riC163t50TZTSX4j5Lluga5zXj3QJHY9Mr4Sk3Gsp6Ib82OmsuEwb9VZaQYKAlkM8s7B012-o1Cp_JqU1NYG3-NcNfAc4Q04UH37JaLgHhIvXW2IHRYkOuNJSN_zE/s320/Photos+upto+March+29+2011+610.jpg)

That looks wonderful! Thanks for sharing. I think I'll start including an art day on my blog once a week or once a month or something.
You're welcome. Looking forward to seeing your posts about that .. off to find out 'where' you are in blogosphere :)
