My first graders looked at some of Cezanne's still life paintings with apples and looked closely at how the apples have different hues of red, yellow, and green.
They painted three apples by mixing yellow and red tempera paint over turquoise or green paper.
We reviewed warm colors and cool colors and examined Matisse's apple painting and how the warm colored apples and table stand out against the cool color background.
To finish these the kids designed tablecloths with oil pastels.
They were so into the concept of a still life that they wanted to do their own still life pictures as their extra time drawings when they finished their oil pastel.
So today I set up still life arrangements (of containers and art supplies) for the FIRST GRADERS to draw from today and also went over the concepts of overlapping and viewpoints. They were so into it!
We just started them today but I had to share!
