Grade Four children have been learning about plants and water this term.
Step 1. Observe some paintings of
Step.2 Draw Spiral plants.
Step.3 Paint neatly using one colour to outline and another colour to fill in.
Fourth grade students study plants as a major part of their curriculum. To reinforce what they are learning about plants we discussed the parts of a plant, or plants seed, and how they grow. They were then introduced to a unique plant called the “Koru”, and also the artwork of Raewyn Harris. They created watercolor paintings on professional watercolor paper in the style of Raewyn Harris. We reviewed watercolor techniques, and they also learned some new technique of shading and blending colors.

I have just seen your wonderful artworks and wanted to contact you to tell you how wonderful they are. It is always a joy to see that my own art is used in classrooms to inspire students. Well done !
