Winter Evening Water Colour Art

This week we did some water colour paintings. Mrs Geary brought some special water colour paper, it's really thick. Then we had to paint a winter background. We discussed the colours we would need, these are cool colours like blue, purple, and grey. Next we added a bit of yellow and red as though the sun was setting.
The next day we used ink to made a deciduous tree. We used a straw to blow the ink up the paper to make a trunk then changed direction to create branches. The students looked for puddles of ink and then blew and chased the lines. We had to think about the direction the straw was pointing and how strong to blow.
