Winter Wonderland

I wish the world outside the windows of PES looked like this!  The rain is turning the pretty white snow into grayish-brown slush!  It's a good thing the second graders created these beautiful winter landscape!
Students learned the different "tricks" artists use to create depth in their artwork.  These tricks help landscapes look like you can walk right into them.  When they created their landscape there were asked to make colors bright to dark by mixing shades of gray, use overlapping and to make changes in size to show depth.  Although most of their work was made with tempera paint, craypas (oil pastels) were used for adding pops of color and detail.
