"Beautiful Oops"

Kindergarten is working on learning about the different lines. The covered their paper with "muscle color" crayon lines, then watched the "magic" when we painted watercolor lines on top! 

1st grade reviewed how lines are used to create shapes (specifically geometric shapes). We covered our paper with bright shapes then, OOPS! We spilled ink on our papers and blew it around to create organic shapes.

2nd grade began by making an oops with colored ink and using a straw to blow it around into a "splat." We then used our imaginations to turn our splats into little monsters!

3rd grade looked at different landscapes and first painted a background. Once that was dry we OOPS! spilled ink onto our paper and used straws and paint brushes to create trees.

4th grade is studying Jackson Pollock and his drip painting. We cannot create such large paintings, so we are using colored ink to drip the ink on our papers. We then picked up our papers and tilted them back and fourth to let the ink drip around. We also used straws to blow the ink into funky shapes. The next step we have just started to work on is filling the negative space with black ink for contrast.

5th grade used warm colors (red, yellow, orange, pink, ect.) for paint a background. Once it was dry, we OOPS! spilled ink onto our paper and used straws and paint brushes to create trees.
