Winter Trees

In the past two classes the kids have worked on a mixed media project which will be displayed at the MMS Holiday Show!

We began our project by preparing our materials. The kids took out their watercolors, and using cool colors (blue, purple, pink) filled their winter skies with color. We made sure to use the materials correctly. This means painting gently and using lots of water.

Once the pages were full of color we set them aside to dry and began working on making the work we would use to create the trees.

The children were provided with pre-cut squares of green tissue paper (all shades). They then used watered down elmers glue and their paint brushes to paint the paper with glue and add their tissue paper. Again the goal was to fill the paper with color. These pieces will later be used to create evergreen trees.

All the work was set to dry! Looking beautiful! Check out the next post to see what they used these pieces to make!
