Finally Friday

We started our week with a Chinese New Year poem.  I printed it on the top of the paper and students had to draw their mental image.  Thank you Teacher Bits and Bobs for the fun poem. 

 Then we worked on creating a background for our Lady Liberty portraits.  We started with oil pastel and created spaces across a paper. 










Using only red, white, and blue, we filled the spaces with lines, shapes, patterns.

And then painted with red, white, and blue water colors.  Watching the oil pastel resist the water colors is magical!

 Add the portrait, and finished!

Happy Finally Friday!
