Winter Night This past month students used tempera paint and mark-

ers to create paintings that depict a “Winter Night.”

The scene was created using the techniques of Marker

Transfer and Stamping.

In the technique of Marker Transfer, students drew

lines on “Tree” templates using a marker. These tem-

plates were then flipped over (so the marker side is

down) onto a sheet of paper that has a layer of white

tempera. After the template is removed the marker

lines are transferred to the painted surface.

The falling “Snowflakes” are created by dipping the

eraser end of a pencil into a mixture of white and silver

glitter tempera paint. Students then used the pencil to

Stamp the circle shape of the eraser onto the paper.

Night” paintings: 1. Jonathan B. (Rm. 307)

and 2. Alissa S. (Rm. 120).

Program over the past month with art supplies and materials, including

Regina M. (Rm. 306), Jim C. (Rm. 308), and Christine C. (Rm. 119).

To all of you (and those of you that I may have missed) I say, “Thank You!!”

Winter Paper Mosaic Additionally, during the month of January students

created the Winter themed Paper Mosaics seen on

this page.

They were created by painting white drawing paper

with blue, purple, silver glitter and white tempera

paints. After the paint dried, this paper was cut into

small squares and rectangles which were glued onto

another piece of drawing paper.

To create the “trees” students colored drawing paper

with brown, black and purple crayons. This paper was

then painted with brown, silver glitter, and black tem-

pera paint.

After the paper was dry, “tree” shapes were traced on

the back and cut out. Then these “trees” were glued

onto the completed mosaic background.

Some examples of the com-

pleted “Winter Paper Mosa-

ics”: 1. Dominic C. (Rm.

306), 2. Karl K. (Rm. 306), 3.

Ocean P. (Rm. 310), and 4.

Shemar L. (Rm. 310).
