Third Grade students concentrated on drawing at the first of the year. A little concentrated drawing created one of our favorite characters from Where the Wild Things Are. After Christmas they learned about Claude Monet through stories and paintings. Then they picked a Monet painting and learned to paint by putting a single brush stoke of color next to another. They also learned how to achieve lighter and darker colors by using more or less water on their brush. Our Harriet Tubman project taught them how to paint "wet-in-wet" and then tell a story using a silhouette. Judy Brand came to Fernan as an Artist in Residence to teach Ms. Soucy's 4th Grade and Ms. Critchfield's 3rd Grade how to use watercolor paints to paint the predator birds that you will see at the end of the Gallery. They were amazing!!
