We read The Legend of the Indian Paint Brush by Tomie DePaola. We brainstormed different images that we saw in Little Gopher's paintings. We began by painting a 12x18 piece of paper in a rainbow pattern of stripes. When that was dry we drew scalloped lines around the edges and cut them out to make it look more like the animal skins we saw in the story. Students then used oil pastels to draw Native American scenes.
The scalloped edge really added a lot to the overall effect!!
ReplyDeleteThis is the de-facto best paint for my use. It has an easy clean up and very little odor. Not very common today and if you use this, you need either mineral spirits or paint thinner to clean the brushes. Paint Brush Supplier
