Lomond View Elementary School

Mendy Reese, Visual Arts Specialist

Students created patterns on teepees with watercolors and painted them using warm colors. The warm colors gave the illusion that there was a fire inside. Students also created landscapes using crayon resist, watercolors, and salt. The final step was adding the teepees to the landscapes.
