The Art around the world course is slowly finishing up. This week we have visited the land of ice and snow: Antarctica.
It was a pretty ambitions project that I am very proud to say: we were able to finish in 50 minutes! Kids were playing around with watercolors. They used light and dark blue, lemon juice, salt, sponges, tissues, water and foil to create an interesting snowy effect for the background of their painting. Then we talked about the way to create a penguin, sketched it on a piece of watercolor paper, cut it out and decorated it with tempera paint. Kids loved adding sweater, mittens, hats and more fun stuff to keep their penguins warm and cozy.
Then we glued the penguins onto the watercolor paper and added some snow. Done. Hectic but totally worth it!
