| Fifth Grade Art Gallery |  | Ms. Bartol and Ms. Thames fifth graders have been learning to paint using pale
colors, then medium and dark. The fifth graders selected a picture of
their choice and tried to draw with paint. This is quite
difficult, they need to anticipate where to paint.
To
begin they paint the whole picture in very pale colors, this helps
if they make a mistake they can paint over it in medium
tones.
The process is fun yet very challenging. Many students are surprised at the quality of their work.
