Being Creative

Today we had a special visitor in class who shared her love and knowledge of water color painting. Ms. M was thrilled to show us a new way to paint a detailed flower in our own special way. First we used pencil to draw the flower, and then went over those marks with pencil.

Like this.

Afterwards, we erased whatever pencil marks were still left. And continued on with decorating or marking our flowers in their own patterns. Ms. M was showing us how to do that to make our flowers special.

Ms. M gave us permission to paint as well as how to pick out the appropriate colors to use to enhance our flowers.

This is one of our finished projects.
