City Layers, ages 7-9

We talked about things we see in a city and how the windows in a building will look bigger in the closer buildings. The students worked from front to back on this one. We drew in our street, cars... and then the closer buildings and then the taller, further buildings and the night sky and moon.
We used markers and water to do these fun, colorful city scenes.

Day and Night Lighthouses, ages 10-13

This has to be another of my favorite projects. The students drew lighthouses and then drew dividing lines to show the difference of night and day colors in their painting. They put a lot of thought in to the colors that they used!

Night ages 12 to 14

It is challenging to paint a night scene. The colors change, artificial light, glow, values.... It can also be exciting!  16x20 inches, acrylic on canvas board.
