"Barns" by Third Grade

This is a great project that was inspired by the barn drawing lesson on the "Deep Space Sparkle" blog. The third grade did such a great job! They drew barns and scenery in pencil, and then painted in all the different areas using tempra paint. We talked about painting areas that were not touching and allowing an area to start to dry before painting an area next to it. Also, it took them a couple classes to complete painting the barns, so that helped to keep the paints from blending together where they met. When they were finished and the paints were dry, they went around all the objects in their pictures and outlined them with black paint.

Here are some finished projects...
