Prep & Prep/1 C Fine Motor Skills: Multi Media Shapes Picture

First we discussed primary and secondary colours and looked at a short Colour Wheel video. Students outlined their shapes with oil pastel and painted these with primary colour acrylic. The following week, a secondary colour wash was added to the background. Lastly students outlined their shapes again with oil pastel. We discussed how the shapes were not painted perfectly, and that this is okay and that sometimes happens in art. This provided an easy introduction to abstract art and we looked at the book I Spy Two Eyes and compared abstract art to "real life" art.
