Plasticene Art






This morning we enjoyed exploring a gallery that is new to us, participating in one of their programs. We started off learning about HomerWatson; Canada's first landscape artist. This time was followed by some hands-on art led by the in-house artist. The kids were guided through the color wheel, blending colors with plasticene. They used there final pallet of colors to 'paint' a landscape scene. The kids really enjoyed this medium. We had discussions of using this method to create our own story book; a la Barbara Reid style.
