3rd Grade Watercolor Resist

"What are those small round green things??"

Peas! Carrots, broccoli, radishes, corn, cucumbers, eggplant, tomatoes and pumpkin too! 3rd grade has been working with watercolor resist in our latest project. Each student started out by drawing vegetables with pencil. We wanted to take up as much positive space as possible, so the vegetables were drawn close together. Students went over their pencil lines with sharpie then used crayon to color them in. After the adding a few layers of crayon, we went over the enitre picture with black watercolor. The thick layer of crayon showed up through the watercolor creating a nice contrast between the positive and negative space! Fabulous, 3rd graders!
