Painting a Sunset

We spent this rainy morning working on a sunset project. 

We began by looking at a sunset painting by a former student. We noted the composition in particular. Then we worked together to draw a field of flowers with mountains and a sunset in the distance. 

The kids did beautifully with the project. When given the opportunity, many were excited to try drawing new types of flowers and to add their own interesting designs and patterns. After drawing, the kids painted their pictures with watercolor. Beautiful!
