Single colour silhouettes with close contour lines repeated to fill all the surrounding negative space. They look extra good altogether on the classroom wall. An exercise in patience with a paintbrush. And who would've known I could be so succinct!
Hi Joe, Their control is good. Have you watered the paint down? I tried contour lines with a much younger class using coloured pencils...not too flash. Paint is a better choice. Good to see the obligatory "heart shape' in there.
Thanks Gretchen, just regular acrylic. I tried something similar with younger children and paint previously, it's at http://artwithmrhall.blogspot.com.au/2012/06/shapes-lines.html
simple, easy, but for these reason brilliant and impressive!!! thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteGreat way for the kids to practice brush control. I agree, they look really cool all displayed together.
ReplyDeleteThanks guys : )
