Primary/Secondary Color, Line Direction, and Tape Resist


First Grade Color Line Art

First graders created these beautiful abstract pieces while learning about line direction, primary and secondary colors and water color techniques.  Students began by using masking tape to create horizontal, vertical and diagonal lines on their paper.  Then they used a wet on wet water color technique to add red, yellow and blue liquid water colors to each section.  The “Ahhs and Oohs” as all the secondary colors erupted were such fun!  Finally students carefully outlined each section with Sharpie to create additional contrast. 
 This lesson was shared by Christie over at Fine Lines.  Thank you, Christie!
