Second grade artists have been learning how to draw forms.  They became experts at drawing pyramids during our Middle Eastern landscape project, and were excited to learn how to turn cubes into barns and cylinders into silos!

drawing barns using tempera paint and q-tips

Finished barns, painted with tempera paint and outlined with black oil pastel.

This project was inspired by the barn paintings created several years ago by my colleague at Alward Elementary, Mrs. Bandstra.  See her cool blog here!
