Monochrome

Parent conferences continue this week, and it has been a pleasure to see almost everybody so far. 

We took a break from our usual activities today to do some art. We reviewed our discussion of color, and this time we turned our attention from primary and opposing colors to a monochromatic color palate. The students did a winter scene using tempera. It was a messy project, but the results were often lovely.
