About this School Project (2nd Grade Skill Builder- Painting Skies!)
2nd grade artists looked at artworks that included skies from artists around the world including paintings by by Polish artist Agnieszka Kozien, Afro-Native American artist Richard Mayhew, and Brazilian artist Tarsila do Amaral. They observed the similarities and differences in color choices the artists made and how they chose to fill the space on their artworks. Students practiced watercolor techniques, creating different values and mixing colors by adding more water to their paintings!
Students then demonstrated art skills with watercolor and tempera cake paints creating their own skies.
Students were working toward the following Ohio Visual Art Benchmarks:
2.1CR Generate art-making ideas from multiple sources.
1PR Demonstrate increasing skill and craft in the use of art tools and materials with attention to their diverse qualities
