Our ECC Co-op Artist Impressionist study:  Paul Klee

The kids used oil pastels on watercolor paper.  They then went over the oils with watercolor paint.  The last step, to make the picture have a 3D look, was to add construction paper layers … as in an underwater scene.

  1. That camel lapbook looks pretty neat. I found a really cool density experiment similar to what you guys did on pinterest, but we haven't had time to try it yet :(
