June 22nd- Day 2 Monoprints

After a warm up with contour drawing of  every day objects in their sketchbooks  (fork, scissors, cups, whisks etc) and practicing a few french words, the kids chose one object and did 10 quick (30s) drawings of the object, each time from a different angle. The negative space of the page was then colored with watercolor.




















Snack time in the garden,










and back to work with some practice in tracing in preparation for the monoprints.










 The oil paint monoprint work in progress with some samples
 





and many more that are drying....


Tomorrow they will learn about, plein air sketching and journaling, around Lake Calhoun!
