| The "Wondercolor" studies allow students to explore with crayon, paint, water, paper and salt. Each student chooses two colors, curved or straight lines for the underlying structure; then they apply the water, paint and take time to watch what happens before they add the salt. This study illustrates how the movement of the paint and water helps the artist create. Then we wonder what images will appear to the viewer with imagination. Here are a few samples. |
| Sculpting character faces helps the student understand the forms that make up the "landscape" of the face. Students were allowed to embellish their "faces" with motifs that would indicate the character's spirit or personality. We used the sculpey clays that come in a variety of colors,but most of the students had to mix the clays to get the desired skin tones and other colors. |
