This week was Pointillism and Impressionism inspired by George Seurat! We started off the week by using Q-Tips to paint a picture only by using dots. On Tuesday we cut paper in the shape of lily pads and glued tissue paper petals to look like flowers. On Wednesday we all worked together to paint a giant wall mural. The kids cooperated with each other and shared the paints and brushes to get the mural finished. Then on Thursday we made homemade dough and molded it in the shape of flowers. Then we painted them and mounted them on cardboard squares. On Friday we finished off the week by making designs on a piece of paper using liquid colored dyes. We wet the paper with water so that the dyes would bleed and spread the color around. Because I was working with the little kids, they needed more help than the big kids. So I had to help them with things like cutting the tissue paper petals, painting the mural, and molding the flower. This week was meaningful to the campers because they got to learn about different techniques and paintings created by different artists, who all used pointillism in their artwork.

This week at Markeim was very fun! The theme of the week was impressionism and pointillism. I had the little kids morning class. We learned about Van Gogh and a lot of other amazing artists! On Monday we made paintings using dots, which was pointillism. On Tuesday we demonstrated impressionism by blotting paper with blue, green and white paints to make water. Then afterwards we added 3-dimensional water lilys! On Wednesday we did our rendition of Van Gogh's 'Starry Night'. The kids drew the moon and stars on blue paper with some oil pastels. On Thursday we made 3-dimensional sunflowers out of a dough we made and painted them! Lastly on Friday, we painted a big wall painting and had fun with liquid water colors on slightly dampened paper!
