Watch us work!
We completed a variety of painting exercises in order to learn to control paint. We gained control by becoming better painters - learning how to use our brush and to keep it clean and how to use our classroom paint. We also learned how to mix and manipulate colors. The we applied these new skills by making our very own version of Cezanne still life.
