Here is Part 2 of my 4 part staff development post!
3. Claude Monet: Waterlilies: I did this project a few years back with 1st graders...love it!
Paint the entire canvas, left to right, with blue acrylic.
Streak in some white paint. Don't blend it too perfectly!
Paint a lily pad using greens...
Add a simple flower using white. Add some reds. Don't worry too much if they start to blend together a bit!
4. Jackson Pollock: Action painting with paint bellows: Jackson Pollock will be a pretty simple one. Since this one won't take much time, I'm going to have an iPad at that station with a YouTube video cued up of Jackson Pollock painting.
The first video is set to music, the other is the original excerpt from Hans Namuth and Paul Falkenberg.
