3rd and 4th Grade Exploring Textures with Pastels and Watercolors

This week in the art room my 3rd and 4th graders are making covers for their sketchbooks. They had fun completing texture rubbings with pastels on white paper. We talked about how to show variety and add different designs. Some students even decided to overlap textures on top of each other to create a different effect.

  

After we completed our texture drawings, we then used metallic watercolors on top to create a resist painting. Students loved these new watercolors and saw their texture drawings underneath!

 Here are some results below!
