Brushstrokes...
Visual Arts Notes from Mr. Miceli
Rhythm Prints
Kindergarten
Medium: Tempera Paint, Cardboard
Skills and Technique: New Painting Methods, Scraping, Tapping, Spinning
In this project my goal was to show students that you don't always need to use your fingers or a paint brush to paint, sometimes you can use objects that you would normally throw away. I cut pieces of cardboard into 3 inch squares to be used as a squeegee in between the paint and the paper. I showed that class three different techniques that they would be using in the project: smooth line, tapping, and spinning the cardboard. We listened to various types of music during the lesson to help influence the types of lines they created. I was impressed with how careful each student was to try and accomplish each technique to the rhythm of the music.
