Art Project


The girls have been learning about different types of lines in art and how lines can evoke emotion.  An excellent example they learned about during this study is this print.  It is called The Great Wave by the Japanese artist Hokusai.  It is a woodblock print.  To semi-replicate this technique while gaining understanding of lines the girls did the following art project.

First they painted a simple picture/design using tempra paints onto a cookie sheet.  They then used Q-tips to draw various lines into the paint to create texture, depth, and detail to the painting.
