1st Grade- Nighttime City Paintings!

This was the second project in 1st grade's Impressionism unit. We began by looking at Camille Pissaros city paintings of both daytime and nighttime and compared the two different times of day. Then the students drew their own city buildings with crayon, coloring in hard and dark. We chose to do nighttime cities and the students were encouraged to add stars and lights and the moon. The next day we painted over out cities with black watercolor.
