During the summer vacation in August, we created canvas paintings using acrylic paints.
This time it's "Campbell's Can".
When you think of Campbell's cans, the name that comes to mind is Andy Warhol, so before starting the assignment, we talked a little about Andy Warhol.
The Campbell's cans that the children drew were very unique and fun pieces of art!
The difficult part this time is,
"How can I make the metal lid look gold without using gold paint?"
"How can I draw thin letters the way I want them?"
is.
The teacher gives some hints, and the children think about the rest. It's a color experiment. Students who are struggling can go to the seats of students who have made the colors well together with the teacher to look for hints. Older students can teach younger students. I really like to watch this scene from behind (laughs).
When I thought of this assignment, I imagined how they would look when they were all hung on the wall, but the results were even better than I imagined, and the children said, "I can't wait to take this picture home!" (laughs) The students will be able to take their completed works home next week, so I hope they will enjoy displaying them at home.
We talk about the characteristics of acrylic paints that are different from watercolor paints every time we use them, including why it is important to wash the brushes thoroughly. At Paco, we want to let children experience both types of paints and other art materials as much as possible so that they can experience their characteristics.
Students who are absent during the summer vacation and have not yet completed their assignments will continue to aim to complete the work using the time they have already completed other assignments. (The work will be taken home after completion.)
