I had to think about this for a whi...Good question!<br />I had to think about this for a while...<br />Going over the pencil lines before you paint is just a trick I use to ensure that the kids identify perspective. It shows that by outlining the fence first, it's less likely that the kids will draw "through" the fence when tracing the barn.<br />Also, by tracing over the pencil lines, the kids can then erase all unwanted lines giving them a clean picture to begin painting on.<br />Of course, you can have the kids paint right after the drawing with pencil stage, but they may want to erase all unwanted lines first or else they will show under the translucent paint.<br />Hope this helps explain my thinking!Patty Palmerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00085225715086624172noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3381120504894150431.post-52189807906303914972009-10-04T12:06:17.617-07:002009-10-04T12:06:17.617-07:00I absolutely love your site! I found it by acciden...I absolutely love your site! I found it by accident last spring and have been "borrowing" from you ever since. This is my third year teaching art, but the first I am actually keeping afloat (many thanks to you). I teach 3 days a week K-8 for a small private school in the east, in a room I share with the music teacher. I was wondering why you have the students go over their lines with the water proof pen before painting? Could they go over them later, or not at all? Just curious, we are almost ready to paint. Thanks and please keep up the great work!Pat Gnoreply@blogger.com
