stART - Swimmy


First, we read Pilotin, the French copy of Swimmy, by Leo Lionni.

Next, Bear rolled blue paint onto her white paper.
She dabbed turquoise do a dot marker and sponged green paint to make seaweed. (I showed her the illustrations in the book before she started and also demonstrated how to use the sponge so that it would look like seaweed.)
Then, Bear sponged fish all over.
This was her favorite part.
She made two paintings.

Number one
and number 2.

  1. This sounds cute, but none of your pictures are showing up for me for some reason?

  2. Thanks for letting me know. Sometimes when I post pictures with Picasa, they don't show up when others look at the blog, but they do when I check the blog. Weird. So if it ever happens again, please let me know! Hope it is fixed now.

  7. Bear did great, and Swimmy is a great book. Anna loved it, and I was thinking a lot about how the illustrations were made. It's pretty neat that Bear gets to execute such complex multi-step projects so early.
