1st graders are finishing up their monochromatic heart paintings. This project introduces positive and negative space, mixing a tint, etching a line design, and printing a border. They also do some teeny tiny touch ups to make their final results clean and crisp.
Below you can see the line etching step. Students used a wooden stylus to gently scratch a line design into the wet paint. They painted a little then etched a little so the paint would be wet when they etched it.

Click to download this lesson After painting the negative space of one heart and the positive space of the other, students mixed a tint of their one color by mixing white into it. They learned about tints and other aspects of color with this brainpop jr video. We watched our Monochromatic Fugleflick too. We had fun playing the color matching game on our interactive board at the end of class too. Find it here.
