Tie Dye Still Life Pictures”

Inspired by Henri Matisse and Paul Cezanne, second grade students from Mrs. Kay, Smithfield school learned how to create one of the many genres in art; still life.  This was enhanced by using watercolor primary colors; yellow, red, and blue.  Drawings were made on a coffee filter like paper, folded 5 times in a triangle.  Each tip was dipped into the watercolors and when paper is unfolded, a symmetrical geometric pattern appears with the drawing.
