The Snowy Day\u00a0<\/a> by Ezra Jack Keats was the inspiration for our art project last week.<\/h2>\n

We began by reading the story together.\u00a0 We then used a directed drawing technique to draw our buildings using sharpies.\u00a0 \u00a0We used vertical and diagonal lines as well as rectangles and squares.<\/p>\n

After our city was complete, we then began to paint using water colour paint pucks.\u00a0 We are learning to choose our brush based on what we are painting–big brushes for the sky, little brushes for the windows.<\/p>\n

We ONLY used cool colours to invoke a feeling of a cold winter day.\u00a0 The cool colours include: blues<\/span>, greens<\/span>, and purples<\/span>.<\/p>\n

After finishing the painting, we then dried our work with a hair<\/strong> dryer<\/strong>…yes a hair dryer!\u00a0 This allowed us to add the snow using white liquid tempra and Q-Tips without having to wait!!<\/p>\n

Take a look at our finished pieces below…<\/p>\n
