The 8th Graders have just completed a lesson about drawing, painting, and blending. All three skills were used to compose the banyon trees. First the students drew their trees and painted them with a watery acrylic paint. Then, we looked closely at the color wheel and practiced transition blending with oil pastels. The final results are brilliantly colored like rainbows. Super work 8th graders!
