1st Grade Sunflower Paintings


Mrs. Magill's 1st grade class created these beautiful watercolor sunflowers.  The children observed real sunflowers, talked about their shape, color and texture of the centers.  Then they drew a large sunflower using black oil pastels, next the painted the petals with warm colors, then the center and background with cool colors.  We even added some texture to the center with salt to create seeds.  Mrs Robbins class will have fun painting these this week as well.  A special thank you to Mrs Dwyer for helping us in the Art Room!
