Painting Pictures






































Taking what they learned about color mixing, the group moved on to painting pictures of things such as landscapes, penguins, flowers, birds, and roosters. First, a picture tracing technique was used and then they painted what they had drawn. Every picture painted was unique and it was fun for everyone to see the differences across similar subjects.
