The second graders have been working for the past two weeks on these multi media masterpieces. First they followed me step by step on how to draw a nice fat hippo. Then they colored them in with crayons leaving the water and sky. Next they used water down tempera paint for the sky and water. It's a great effect when the blue paint still shows the crayon drawing under. This is a great way to make layers images and play with transparency. This class can handle anything I give them. I was impressed. I think they had fun too.
