Simple. Cute. Fun. What more could you want from a first grade art lesson? Last year, I introduced this lesson to my Kinders (see post) and it was so successful that I thought I would try it again. This time, however, I used tempera paints instead of watercolor.
Simple Steps...
Using a black oil pastel, draw a simple pig. Add a wavy or straight horizon line, fence posts and perhaps a sun.
Paint background first with blue, yellow and green paints (I set out pre-mixed colors for simplicity). Then paint the pig.
Once everything is dry, dip a small paint brush into black tempera paint and trace overthe black oil pastel lines.
That's it!
First Grade Results...

I did the cows with my kinders this week - They look awesome!They begged me to do it again - so I told them we'll do pigs next week. Maybe now we'll go for tempera paint!
