Here a student didn’t like how much water she added from the water color and decided to take a paper towel to take off the color and by doing this she discovered that dabbing the water off makes an interesting pattern that was brought out from the impressions in the clay.
Art Focus:
Today’s works include using same art materials in new and different ways and reflecting on how and why they made their art.
Here the student noticed the difference between putting down the oil pastel then watercolor and watercolor then pastel.
