Mr. VandenBerg’s Third Graders are finishing up a watercolor project.  They created a beautiful background for their trees by brushing cool colors on a 9×12 sheet of watercolor paper and sprinkling the wet paper with salt.  When they rubbed the dry salt away during the next class, it was amazing to see the different textures created by the salt.

After practicing their brushstrokes, the class painted gorgeous pine trees with India ink.
